A gory, supernatural campy horror set in a haunted English manor, The Haunting at Morsley Manor follows a troubled paranormal investigator uncovering terrifying secrets that blur the line between the living and the dead. Perfect for The Haunting of Hill House fans and The Woman in Black.
World-famous paranormal investigator Eric Thompson’s career took a nose-dive after a particularly gruesome case which left most of his camera crew dead. His partner and best friend also abandoned Eric, leaving him floundering.
He is soon approached by a mysterious woman who has purchased the supposedly haunted, but previously off-limits to paranormal sleuths, Morsley Manor. To drum up publicity about the house, she hires Eric to perform and host a paranormal investigation on the premises.
As he ventures over to England to uncover the darkness bleeding through the veins of Morsley, horrors begin to spring from every corner and Eric soon begins to realise that not all is as it seems…
My thoughts: Eric Thompson used to present a ghost hunting show with his best friend Mikey, but things went horribly wrong in Japan and Mikey vanished. Eric hasn’t been doing well since then.
Invited to visit the supposedly haunted by multiple ghosts Morsley Manor in Essex for a TV special, he reluctantly agrees.
But things aren’t as they seem, and something truly terrible begins, leaving Eric traumatised and unsure what to do next.
Creepy and full of nasty things, this is a great Halloween read.
