THE DEAD HOUSE - DAWN KURTAGICH

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐


The events in this review take place in the same format as the book: 
 The Dead House. 

The review case is still fresh and occurs roughly between November 23rd and December 17th, when it is believed to be when the reviewer finished reading the book. The reviewer known as Bookenz is still missing and it looks like the individual may have dissociative identity disorder (DID). A Dr Lansing, who has been following this case with interest, informs us that the individual known as Enzo Falsone has two personalities: Enzo during the day and BookEnz at night. The following contains blogger entries from both personalities including CCTV footage from the individuals home security system. Parental guidance is advised when reading the following.

LIVING ROOM.

The camera is focussed on the centre of the living room where we see the occupant Enzo; who is opening a package, that appears to be a book. Enzo looks both happy and excited! The camera focuses on the book, which Enzos holding above his head in glee and it reads: The Dead House. 

BLOG ENTRY #1

ENZO FALSONE

Hey BookEnz! Thank you for the post-it note for me to read: The Dead House. I am so excited to read this book by Dawn Kurtagich. I have heard so many good things about it! It all started BookeEnz when I read my first YA horror called: Harrow Lake. A book by Kat Ellis which didn’t disappoint and has made me quite Jittery whilst on the subject. I spoke with Kat, BookEnz! I tweeted her after I read Harrow Lake to see what other books out there she thought I might like, you know something dark! My jaw almost dropped Benzo when she told8 me to read The Dead house as it’s a right head... "Fudge". 

Please BookEnz, leave me a post-it, so I know what happens at the parts you read!

I've lost count of what I have eaten but don’t forget to have:

1 Cadburys fudge bar

2 Minced Pies

1 packet of Walkers Crisps

             Have a great night BookEnz!

                              Enzo

 

That was the last entry from “Enzo Falsone” as such. It is still not clear what happened for him to review as BookEnz. Many paranormal sites are claiming that The Dead House possessed him, that he is stuck in his mind. Regardless of the rumours, the following entries and footage have just been released.

BLOG ENTRY #2

BookEnz [NO SPOILERS, EXPLICIT CONTENT]

Ta! “Enzyme!!!” Remember they called us you this at school. I remember tasting your tears when they upset you. HATE you calling me Benzo too! What’s that about?  ENZYME ENZYME! God! I need to be my person! But Enzo can he can’t help me. I knew if I got you to read The Dead House, that it would set me free to help you understand who I am.

The Dead House must be the most psychological, thrilling experience that I have EVER gotten from a book. Yes, a book! Pages that you read, pages that you turn to find out what happens next and where your imagination can take you to wondrous places. Now imagine that, but into the deepest darkest subconscious part of your mind; where there is no escape and a high probability that you won’t come back: This is The Dead House!

The format of this book is what initially renders you unconscious. I loved the imagination and work that not only went into the narrative but the characters too. The Dead House is a collection of evidence consisting of newspaper cuttings and journal entries from the two protagonists. The book also contains found footage elements and interviews; from psychiatrists helping Carly to detectives trying to solve what happened. It's mind-numbingly good! The story is then captured pre and post the deliberate “the Incident” which is the most captivating part of this book.

As the reader, you already know that there was a fire that occurred, at Elmbridge High School back in 2005. Three students were killed and most of the school’s occupants were injured in the fire too. One student is unaccounted for, ME!!!!! Carly Johnson. The book, which is predominantly journaled entries have been collated and the majority of which have been written by Kaitlyn Johnson, Carly’s alternate personality who only transpires at night. We learn from this that Carly has what is known in the medical world as Dissociative Identity Disorder. So, is Kaitlyn a by-product of trauma? The reader soon learns of a tragedy that’s befallen in Carly’s past, where both their her parents die and so the “live-in nuthouse” Claydon Youth Psychiatric Facility is where Carly has been situated ever since. The school has a partnership with Claydon to help rehabilitate young individuals such as Carly. We know that Kaitlyn doesn’t exist, but her entries into their diary become more vivid and dark as “the incident” starts to unfold. Is there something more than a disorder occurring here? Something more sinister perhaps?

The book will take you on a dark and windy blood stained brick road that will keep you in suspense and guessing throughout! As the days elapse and near the incident, so does the void of darkness that occurs to the point you will scream out “What the Fudge!!! fuck!”  Dawn Enzo, I love this book! There were times I was shocked at the vivid content and found myself again playing Detective Floyd Homes Columbo trying to figure out what was happening! Was there any malice occurring? Were any of Carly’s or even Kaitlyn’s friends a part of “the incident” that occurs? Reading The Head Dead House made me think: How far would you go to help the ones you truly love and care about! Regardless of how far fetched what was transpiring may seem.

I am a found footage film fan (mouthful), and so all the found footage clips in this were SPECTACULAR! They were some of the scariest elements of the book and fitted in nicely with the diary entries, which led to the ultimate reveal and jaw detachment moments!

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to read something original, dark, thrilling and realistic! It's so clever the way the female protagonist Kaitlyn makes you believe, personally speaking anyway, like she’s an actual sister to Carly! And that’s just the roof of the house! Go and buy this book to find out what happened inside it!!!!!!!.....”SSSSSsssssss”….. I have to go Enzo….its here! I can hea…….. 

That is the last official documented evidence from Enzo Falsone. Many paranormal investigators have been refused entry to the Falsone residence on the premise of an ongoing investigation. However, the following footage was found and has not been made public, until now.

Warning: Viewers digression is advised!

HOUSE SECURITY CAMERA FOOTAGE

THURSDAY, 17TH DECEMBER 2020, MIDNIGHT

LIVING ROOM.

Enzo is seen holding The Dead House book directly in front of his face. The room is now  dark and so the camera turns to its night vision mode. On time-lapse, approximately 3 hours and 15 minutes goes by, where Enzo doesn’t move a muscle.  Suddenly, almost like an all you can eat challenge; Enzo violently rips out a page at a time of The Dead House and forces each page down his throat. There is no accompanying sound, but we see what looks like Enzo suffocating on the pages and now rolling around on the living room floor. Its presumed he can’t breathe. In his last gasps for breath you can see a lit candle has been knocked onto the floor causing a small blaze around Enzo. The smoke soon turns to fire, due to the 440 pages of The Dead House scattered everywhere. In a possessed state, Enzo manages to stand up facing the camera, now holding up a blank page, which appears to have a Haiku written in blood… it reads.

LAST ONE TO DIE: CHAPTER ONE BY CYNTHIA MURPHY


South Yorkshire Metropolitan Police

Interview Transcript
Case number - 00666
Interviewing Officer - Detective Moran
Incident Type - Cliffhanger 
Victim name - Enzo Falsone
D.O.B: 12/03/84

DET. MORAN: (Dry grunt) So, it's currently 23:02 and I am here with Enzo Falsone, who is yet to inform us on what happened in Cynthia Murphy’s - Last One to Die: First chapter? For this tape, can you describe the events that took place, Mr Falsone?

 

ENZO FALSONE: Well...I was on, Twitter.... oh... it is dark (audible mumbling).....I can’t see! 

 

DET MORAN: Urgh!... PC BOWERS! Please turn on the interrogation lights so Mr Falsone can see. 

 

(Lights turn on)

 

ENZO FALSONE: AH! Much better thank you. As I was saying, I was on Twitter and I stumbled across this talented up and coming author: Cynthia Murphy. 

 

DET MORAN: Oookay. Erm, (grunts) please note for the tape, that Mr Falsone is looking rather excitable at this point and we are on standby to arrest...

 

(Audible gasp)

 

ENZO FALSONE: NO! Allow me to finish! Cynthia has a new book coming out in January 2021 and I had the privilege of reading the first chapter to review! The best part was having Cynthia’s permission of course! 

 

DET MORAN: Wait a second, are you telling me you have had communication with Cynthia!?

 

ENZO FALSONE: Why yes....we chatted online and that’s where I asked her!

 

DET MORAN: WAIT! Have you Motherfu(barely audible) seen her!? (Fist bangs on the table) TALK!!!! 

 

ENZO FALSONE: NO I have not! Although, IF LOOKS COULD KILL...SHE'D BE DEAD ALREADY! HAHAHAHAHAHA...HA....HA...

 

(Detective gives a mirthless laugh)

 

DET MORAN: I am giving you one more chance Mr Falsone, (inaudible mumble) tell me what you know so far about Last One to Die, the first chapter? Please! Note for the tape, Enzo is nodding his head in excitement and has a supercilious look in his eye!

 

ENZO FALSONE: Well, as a teaser we are presented with the first chapter, and it doesn’t disappoint. What struck oil for me, it is set in modern-day London. Now, I love a good story set in our Capital city! Being a horror enthusiast, as soon as I think of London, my mind immediately diverges to American Werewolf in London! So, you can imagine how excited I got reading this when a Ms Stevens one night after an argument with her boyfriend is walking alone near Millennium Bridge and is approached by someone. Or perhaps SOMETHING?

 

(ABRUPT INTERRUPTION BY DETECTIVE MORAN)

 

DET MORAN: Please note for the tape that I am reminding Mr Falsone to stick to the facts in this case, do you understand!?

 

ENZO FALSONE: (Explosion of verbal diarrhoea) BUT NEVE CAMPBELL GETS MENTIO!?  

 

DET MORAN: THE FACTS PLEASE!

 

ENZO FALSONE: (Audible sigh) Fine, I was just saying, some similarities would suggest foul play! Particularly where Ms Stevens describes being attacked causing "lacerations from her collar bone across to her right shoulder." Worst of all, she believes the perpetrator had metal nails!

 

DET MORAN: Metallll nails??.... (audible knuckle cracking). Anything else you would like to share with us at this time Mr Falsone?

 

ENZO FALSONE: Well from what I can gather, the main story is set in the 1st person. The protagonist being Niamh.

 

DET MORAN: Niamh?

 

ENZO FALSONE: Niamh! N-I-A-M-H! (Audible grinding of teeth). Anyway, Niamh arrives in London for a six-week drama course. As she checks into her accommodation, bumps into Sara who also is on her course. However, Sara pleads with Niamh to swap rooms, as Sara is on the 10th floor and scared of heights. Niamh agrees to swap and the two hit it off. (Audible sigh) It would have been a great friendship...

 

DET MORAN: (Audible stammering) What...what do you mean "would have?" 

 

ENZO FALSONE: Well, Detective Moran, this is where you must read the first captivating chapter of Last One to Die. It’s probably the reason which brought me into your custody. The scene is set with murder and suspense. I need to find out what happens to Niamh’s friend. What if Niamh was supposed to be the target? There is something supernatural going on in this book detective! It's chilling and yet gripping!! You need to read this first chapter! It stuck with me so much that I pre-ordered a copy as I NEED to help her Detective Moran! I need to help find out what is going on!

 

DET MORAN: And where do I find this... chapter, Mr Falsone?

 

ENZO FALSONE: Right here: LAST ONE TO DIE: CHAPTER ONE. The only way you are going to solve this case Detective Moran is by pre-ordering your copy. I encourage you to do so, or else..(audible shuffling of a chair).


DET MORAN: Or else what? Wait! Oh my god! For the tape, Mr Falsone's knuckles are bleeding, they are (inaudible sound)...NO!!! (Audible screams) NOOOO!! It cant be! Metal cla.... (Audible swipe)

(Tape abruptly ends)

A Seed in a Soil of Sorrow by Keith Anthony Baird

 A Seed in a Soil of Sorrow by Keith Anthony Baird  


When the death cult calls ... what are you running from?

Message of thanks

It started with a tweet from the author: Keith Anthony Baird. This was a HUGE deal for me. I’ve just started my blog, as I find it therapeutic; talking about what I have read and how it made me feel etc. So, when Keith messaged me and asked if I would like to read his short story: A Seed in a Soil of Sorrow, I was like YES SIR! So outright Keith, a big gracious thank you! 

The BookEnz Review 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I have always been curious about cults growing up. Not that I ever wanted to be a part of one or anything like that, but it was more the fascination into the human mind. The art of persuasion and the Psychology of conformity. 

The first cult I can remember was Heaven’s Gate, led by Marshal Applewhite. Think it was around 1996, Applewhite theorized that a comet passing called Hale-Bopp was an apparent vessel for their souls to board. The group’s members committed suicide, and this was due to one man’s convictions.

This stuck with me for some time growing up. The ideology of a leader and a group of devotees adapting to one mindset in the hope of one eventuality: solace.

This brings me to A Seed in a Soil of Sorrow. 

It's 1999, on the verge of the "new millennium" where we are introduced to Tobias (alias to the commune). He has searched a "hateful two decades" for salvation from his former life and finds The Viridian Chapter sect, a commune ran by its leader: Hans Lehmann.

Tobias soon learns during his early weeks at the commune that Hans is certifiable and narcissistic. One instance that captivated me, was his arrival to the Chapter. Tobias witnesses the horrific execution of two other Chapter members. That’s just day 1! Their crime? Possession of "outside reading material" as in, outside of Hans’s society. In a civilized society, this would be a crime against humanity.   

Will this be the utopia Tobias has been searching for? His life so far: “Womb to twenty-one had been a tinderbox of rejection”. Can he overcome certain visceral urges which otherwise will put him and others in danger? Will Tobias become a disciple or an evident lapdog to his leader? And will the Viridian Chapter unveil itself to be a more dystopian society? These were some of the questions I asked myself, but what I wanted to know the most was: Will Hans and Tobias’s personalities clash?

A Seed in a Soil of Sorrow is dark, powerful and chilling. I must admit, it contains some of the most graphic and disturbing sequences of events that I have read in a long time and it doesn’t disappoint. A Seed in a Soil of Sorrow will leave you mesmerised and that’s before you even get to the end: It's masterful.

UNBOXED: A Play by BRIANA MORGAN

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

 


Hey, ghosts and ghouls! Today, I have a special treat for you all, Briana Morgan’s play, UNBOXED!

The scene is set, well Act I is set where we meet Greg Zipper, a popular paranormal vlogger who is fixated with hitting 1 million subscribers! He’s nearly there, but it’s costing him his relationship with the love of his life, Alice. It appears that he is currently more connected with his vlog than the one he loves. However, Greg’s vlog is in turmoil, as a personal argument between him and Alice is recorded onto his vlog. Greg soon starts losing subscribers and decides to purchase a mystery box from the dark web to restore his losses and hit that 1 million mark! Greg soon learns it’s called the dark web for a reason when he unboxes something far more sinister that will change his life forever! 

Firstly, I wanted to share with you what possessed me to read this dark short play. 

I love films, mainly horror. Not the type where an inhuman being with a mask terrorises the victim throughout 6 films spanning two decades! No, I am more interested in the found footage genre. For me, the found footage film adds an element of realism for the viewer, which in turn makes them believe what they are seeing, is legitimate.

In 1999, I watched my first ever found footage film, The Blair Witch Project. I remember the way I felt after watching it, Scared! Even when I watch it now, it still disturbs me. Sometimes what we don’t see, frightens us the most.


Eight years later, that same dreaded feeling resurfaced, with the release of Paranormal Activity. PA for me has become the epitome of the found footage genre. The film focuses on a malevolent entity, that has leeched itself onto the films main character. The entities presence matures in the film when a video camera is bought to capture the phenomenon but instead makes it more malevolent.

This play could easily be the next on-screen found footage film. It reminded me of some of those wicked scenes from PA and left me more paranoid than the films. Ghosts and ghouls, I was scared reading Unboxed, and all I will say is this, Unboxed is not for the faint of heart but has a heartfelt ending.

Not only is this the first play that I have read as an adult, but it is the first time I have become acquainted with Briana’s work and it's excellent! Briana plays author, director and producer in one, to the point I felt like I was sat in the centre of the Belasco Theatre watching and made the whole experience real and eerie,e to say the least. 

Even though this is a short play, it captures a series of disturbing events that unbo..fold when Greg opens the box and unleashes something. The great thing about reading this compared to say watching PA, you don’t have to wait until night 15 before you get to that big scare! As soon as the box is opened, BOOM! There is a whole world of hurt coming Greg’s way, which affects his career and those that are closest to him. Will he manage to BOXer away what’s coming and regain more than just his subscribers!?

THE BIGWOOF CONSPIRACY BY DASHE ROBERTS

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



WELCOME TO STICKY PINES! Honestly, a place I want to live. Mysterious lights in the sky, sightings of bigfoot, whose face resembles a bulldog and yet mysteriously looks like a frog, and more conspiracy theories raised than the question, "are we truly alone in the universe?". Where do I sign!? 

The story begins where we meet 12-year-old Lucy Sladan, a UFO fanatic who clearly isn’t a believer in an early night for school. Instead, seeks the truth sneaking out into the woods to unravel the mystery of blue lights in the sky and locals disappearing, which Lucy feels are connected! Her adventure truly begins when she makes the biggest claim to fame discovering BIGFF...WOOF!? 

From this moment on, this book holds more adventure than Indiana Jones and even more mystery than the unexplained! 

I routed for Lucy throughout this book, who is as persistent as Hermione Granger when it comes to uncovering the truth! The characters all have warmth (one was cold) from a 13-year-old stranger turned friend of Lucys named Milo, the two Mrs Stricks and the man in the banana costume! There is no imagination left unturned when it comes to The Bigwoof Conspiracy. 

Dashe Roberts has totally rekindled my childhoods most favourite unsolved mystery, the Bigfoot....and to one day discover, what Pine tree sap tastes of!? I loved this book...Yes loved. A word I associate with family and this is what I gained by visiting this quaint little forgotten corner of the world called Sticky Pines! 

Even though this is an MG book, Dashe's debut novel is imperceptible in its genre, at times you’d think you were reading a YA horror. Mad Dashe entices the adult reader with dark and horrific scenes including Bigwoof metamorphosises, like those seen in American Werewolf in London, which will leave you fearing for Lucy's life. This was my excuse anyway for buying and reading this delightful adaptation of a Bigfoot mystery!

Harrow Lake by Kat Ellis

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



It was difficult to rate this book 5 stars! Not a criticism in the slightest, but how do you differentiate between enjoying something so dark, twist-filled and gripping, when there is a high probability you may not live to tell the tale.....because of the presence of something far more sinister...Mister Jitters!

I thoroughly enjoyed Harrow Lake. Kats ornate style of writing made me feel like I was back in Derry or Jerusalems Lot! Where people, unfortunately, know each others business and where there is a historic trauma plaguing everyone that no one talks about. Everyone except Lola!

On arrival to Harrow Lake, Lola soon finds she isn't as immune from that plague as she would have hoped and soon learns she's connected to Harrow Lake in more ways than one! It doesn't help that her father is a celebrated filmmaker whose best work was filmed in Harrow Lake aaaand the fact that there is a flesh-eating monster called Mister Jitters who makes the locals disappear!!?

A chilling, dark and twist-filled book that kept me glued throughout and guessing until the end! There were times I am sure I saw Mister Jitters come out of the book to get me but luckily I escaped!.... Can Lola!??? Just make sure when you buy this book that you have the door locked and have carved yourself a jitterbug out of wood!! It may save your life!

I bought this book at Amazon.co.uk. Purchase here Harrow Lake

Good Girls Die First by Kathryn Foxfield

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐



[No Spoilers]

Imagine for a moment that you have a dark secret and it riddles you with guilt. What if someone knew your deepest darkest trepidation, extorted it and took pleasure exhuming your guilt!? Now imagine how that would look portrayed on a papered invitation?

That is what Ava and her nine teenage acquaintances receive, luring them all to meet at the derelict carnival on Portgrave Pier at the same time! How did you ask? Well, I'm no magician, but each received an invitation personable to them containing the same message, “Eight o’clock, Portgrave Pier. Can you keep a secret?”

All ten so-called “friends” know each other. Some are a distant memory. Some are more welcomed than others. Some are out for themselves. Some are rich. Some are poor. But regardless of their disparities, each has been brought together, but by whom? 

From the very first page, you get that instant feeling of dread, an Alcatrazesque setting. For instance, a mile-long pier, tar-dark waters, an abandoned carnival and stories of ghosts, already the scene is set, and it isn’t going to end well!  

I must admit, throughout this book and like I do with most films of this genre, I put on my Columbo jacket, play Detective Enzo and try to identify who the killer is before I finish it! Then the Author, Kathryn Foxfield turns around, smiles at me and Whispers, “Look in the mirror”, before fading away!... Kathryn?? This book made my jaw drop!!! It was so dark I needed a torch, there were so many twists I nearly fell and the extra elements the teens go through are, well..out of this world!!!!!

This is a well-executed dark thriller that captures each of the characters personalities excellently. You will end up routing for people, shouting at people, gasping at what they do and perhaps shed a tear or two. The level of detail in this book is also out of this world. For instance, the carnival is so vivid, you can smell the popcorn and candy hanging off of the stalls whilst hearing the echoes of the rides fade like a distant memory. 

If you like a dark thriller full of twists that will keep you guessing until the very end then this is the book for you! I could happily read this again right now. 

I have photographic evidence below, that this book in no way shape or form had any supernatural elements between the pages and that the read was a pleasant one where no harm came to me in my daily routine!
