As with his other gigs, he sets rules for himself: no leaving the house for any reason, refrain from outside contact, and sleep during the day.\u003c\/p\u003e   \u003cp\u003eWhen Thomas Ruth, Felix's oldest friend and fellow horror film obsessive, joins him on the project, the two dance around a recent and unspeakably painful rough-patch in their friendship, but eventually fall into their old rhythms of dark humor and movie trivia. That’s when things start going wrong: screams from upstairs, figures in the thresholds, and more than what should be in any basement. Felix realizes the book he’s writing, and his very state of mind, is tilting from nonfiction into all out horror, and the shocking climax answers a question that’s been staring these men in the face all along: In Rotter House, who’s haunting who?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eTWELVE NIGHTS IN ROTTER HOUSE\u003c\/i\u003e is the best haunted house book I've read in ages. Our skeptical tour guide is a film-fan narrator who knows all the horror tropes—how to riff on them, manipulate them, turn them into something fresh and frightening. I wanted to read the book in 'real time,' to savor it so it would last the full twelve nights, but it got its hooks into me right away and I couldn't put it down once I started.\"—Norman Prentiss, Bram Stoker Award-winner, author of \u003ci\u003eODD ADVENTURES WITH YOUR OTHER FATHER\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Turner Publishing Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51360071156055,"sku":"9781684423699","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781684423699.jpg?v=1754126575","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/twelve-nights-at-rotter-house-9781684423699","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
