Description
“Doctor,” he said before he said anything else, “I am haunted. By ghosts.” His parents are brutally murdered in a Manson-like intrusion and Calvin narrowly escapes the same fate. He spends time in an expensive private mental hospital, but when he returns home, he senses the presence of evil in the shadowy old mansion.
Someone seems to follow him along the halls, and whispers just beyond his hearing. Gradually the terror escalates. A hand shakes him awake at night, just as it did on that fatal night. Cringing in his bed, he hears his father being murdered all over again, and then his mother. But is the mansion haunted-or is it Calvin?

I liked the story itself but did not like the ending. I felt really bad for Calvin. The terror that he experienced & feeling like he was crazy. When he went traveling I thought he would be all set. A definite thumbs up if you like ghost stories.

I loved how well this story was written and developed. The story deals with a man that believes he is haunted by ghosts but is he truly haunted by spirits. Calvin and his brother Bobby grew up in a very tumultuous family and only Bobby found relief from a tyrannical father by running away. Calvin who was younger had no choice but to stay and be tormented until the untimely death of his parents. Calvin’s world was sent into a uncontrolled spiral and torment within himself so much that he stayed in a psychiatric hospital until his release. Listening to the story I can’t discern rather he was haunted by actual ghost or the ghosts of a horrible childhood. I do recommend this book unless you are offended by books that deal with homosexuality and childhood trauma. I received this book from Audiobooks Unleashed and this is my honest unbiased review.
