Relation As Books House (Books of History Chronicles)
A mind-bending supernatural thriller from the creators of This Present Darkness and Saint.
Frank Peretti and Ted Dekker -- two of the most acclaimed writers of supernatural thrillers -- have joined forces for the first time to craft a story unlike any you've ever read. Enter House -- where you'll find yourself thrown into a killer's deadly game in which the only way to win is to lose... and the only way out is in.
The stakes of the game become clear when a tin can is tossed into the house with rules scrawled on it. Rules that only a madman—or worse—could have written. Rules that make no sense yet must be followed.
One game. Seven players. Three rules. Game ends at dawn.

I have never done a review on GoodReads before, but I believe this book merits it...This is the worst book I have ever read. I'm not just saying that because I disagree with the themes that this story was based on; it was written badly. It was 3rd grade-level bad. It reminded me that any book in the Goosebumps series would be a welcoming divergence, and I'm not exaggerating. Whenever a story has magic or supernatural forces, it needs to have rules so that there is clarity in what is happeningI wish I would have researched this a little before listening to it; I didn't realize crazy people wrote it. I expected a horror story a la "Saw" and lots of moral dilemmas, full of questionable actions and mind games. Instead, I got a plot with a lot of potential that rapidly deteriorated into a harpy-like shrieking that christianity was the only way.Nothing about the plot made any sense - black smoke, demons, pentagrams, the "house" that your own evil creates hammering home again and again
For all of my reviews, visit https://theblondelikesbooks.wordpress...House is a supernatural thriller about seven people who end up in a house together. Shortly after arriving, odd things start happening and getting progressively worse. It culminates when a tin can is thrown into the house with three rules for the game. 1. God came to my house and I killed him 2. I will kill anyone who does to my house and I killed God3. Give me one dead body, and I might let rule two slideNow everyone in the
"House" follows a group of people who get stranded overnight in a house full of maniacs, beset by a crazy guy in a metal mask. Only, it's not about that, really. What it's REALLY about is demonising anyone who doesn't conform to authors Ted Dekker and Frank Peretti's set of beliefs and inflicting ridiculous punishments and judgement on people for being simple, flawed human beings. The story primarily follows Jack and Stephanie, a young couple whose marriage is on the rocks after a tragedy they
This was a fun reread. I originally read the book back when it was first released, I think, but this is my first time reading it after seeing the movie. I found myself picturing the film while reading and that made for a great read. I definitely think the book had more details, but that is usually the case. The house was creepy...and the basement?? Yikes. The house "rules" were crazy. The ending was intense. All in all, I really enjoyed this reread and it is a favorite of Dekker's for me.
Why, why did I waste time reading this book when I could have been...Oh, I don't know, scrubbing the bathroom floor with a toothbrush? It's one of those crappy horror "thrillers" that make you feel kind of dirty when you're done. I do admit to finishing the book-- a fast read despite its gargantuan hardcover size-- but only because it held my interest JUST ENOUGH to wonder if it would improve. Like when they introduced Susan's character, I was muttering to myself, "Well, maybe this will liven
