The Folcroft Ghosts
Ratings9
Average rating3.8
When their mother is hospitalized, Tara and Kyle are sent to stay with their only remaining relatives. Their elderly grandparents seem friendly at first, and the rambling house is full of fun nooks and crannies to explore. But strange things keep happening. A bedroom remains locked at all times. Doors slam and curtains shift when no one is inside. And there are whispers of a sister who drowned in the lake long ago.
Something is being hidden away, kept safely out of sight…and the children can’t shake the feeling that it’s watching them.
When a violent storm cuts off their only contact with the outside world, stranding them in the haunted manor, Tara and Kyle must find a way to protect themselves from their increasingly erratic grandparents… and from the ghosts that haunt the Folcrofts’ house. All at once, they’re forced to confront the secrets of the manor. But can they ever hope to escape the unforgivable secret that has ensnared their family for generations?

This was an easy and quick but good read. It's not fast paced but if done right I'm okay with that. I kept wanting to know what the secret was so the author did her job. I think she did a great job in describing the spooky parts. If you have a good enough imagination you could totally picture it..and then be spooked for a few seconds LoL
When you need an easy ghosty story this author is my favorite go-to. Read this one in a couple of hours while on a plane.
Honestly, I didn't know anything about Darcy Coates (except she seems to have an entire shelf to herself in the Horror section at Barnes and Noble) until I started reading this book. I had no idea she was a self-published wonder. Here we have a short, wicked little story (about 190 pages) and three really cool bonus short stories. I loved Crypt.
As for the main book, we have a teen girl and her brother being shuffled off to grandparents they have never met after mom gets into a car accident. While it is not exactly the same, if you loved the movie The Visit, you will love this.
The house is creepy, the grounds are creepy and the town is unfriendly and creepy.
I pretty much loved it.
I have Gillespie House laying around on the Kindle and will definitely be reading more Coates.
