But although there were hints of this and reminders of that, which was very much its own story, and confident in what it was and where it was going. BERKLEY STREET is frightening, very much, and I finished unsure which scared me more: the haunts, or the humans [shudder]. The story is told in flashbacks to his youth and to the present, so we see the whole picture slowly unravel!

I loved how the author kept us in the dark until the very last bonus chapter, after reading which a little, and I mean VERY little clarity was given. I noticed that this is the first book in a series so these questions may be answered in subsequent volumes. Harry Flashman, the vicious bully of Tom Brown's School Days and anti-hero of the Flashman Papers, had a marital home here with his wife Elspeth.Through a series of flashbacks and flashforwards, the reader is told how the house came about and how the current resident fares. This is a great haunted house story/mystery that reminded me of The Haunting of Hill House and Peter Straub's Ghost Story. Peter Standish, a character from the play Berkeley Square written by John Balderston, about a Yankee who lives in a house on the square and is transported back to the 18th century. If it had a been a one-off or stand alone book then I would not have enjoyed it as much, but there is so much more to tell and I can’t wait to get into the next book.

Definitely for fans of ghosts, poltergeists and possessions, this is one haunted house you won't want to go anywhere near. Somehow they always manage to be able to afford large houses or even mansions, which of course come with some history. I would've liked her pov once about how she was affected by all that was happening in Shane's house. Marie Lafontaine joins Shane and Frank as they descend on Borgin Keep, which is set in the lush hills of Vermont.This page combines information for the address Berkley Street, Liverpool, L8 1XB, and the neighbourhood in which it resides.
