From the macabre mind of a Bram Stoker Award-nominated author, this heart-pounding novel of horror and psychological suspense takes a ghost hunting reality TV crew into a world they could never have imagined. Fade to Black is the newest hit ghost hunting reality TV show. Led by husband and wife team Matt and Claire Kirklin, it delivers weekly hauntings investigated by a dedicated team of ghost hunting experts. Episode Thirteen takes them to every ghost hunter's holy grail: the Paranormal Research Foundation. This brooding, derelict mansion holds secrets and clues about bizarre experiments that took place there in the 1970s. It's also famously haunted, and the team hopes their scientific techniques and high tech gear will prove it. But as the house begins to reveal itself to them, proof of an afterlife might not be everything Matt dreamed of. A story told in broken pieces, in tapes, journals, and correspondence, this is the story of Episode Thirteen—and how everything went terribly, horribly wrong. "An epistolary descent into a living nightmare . . . well-written and genuinely unsettling. Fans of paranormal documentaries, ghost-hunting shows, and found-footage horror will lose their minds over this one." —Kealan Patrick Burke, Bram Stoker Award winning author of Kin “A beautiful Russian doll of a story… Episode Thirteen hooks you, creeps you out, and then it overwhelms you. It’s House of Leaves meets Haunting of Hill House, in all the best possible ways.”—Peter Clines, NYT bestselling author of The Broken Room For more from Craig DiLouie, check out: The Children of Red Peak Our War One of Us

It was good until it wasn't. Ending is a big wtf. Not my fave DiLouie.
i'm so disappointed i didn't love this one because i love suffer the children by craig dilouie and it was one of my most anticipated of the year. this was super slow and long for no reason. you would think it would be slow to gradually build tension to the explosive ending but there was no tension just boredom. i loved the format of this book and how it translated to an audiobook. the audiobook is over the top but i enjoyed it. the ending is what saved this for me tho. it was a phenomenal ending and giving along the lines of as above so below but everything else was boring asl.
I listened to the audiobook while reading which was a cool experience with so much mixed media. However, it became very convoluted yet repetitive. I liked the first third, but the rest didn't do it for me
Gotta see if there is a movie. If not, I kinda need one yesterday.
