review 1: Awesome short horror. Bryan is trying to get through his finals when his happy-go-lucky friend, Kyle, announces he entered them into an internship and they won. The internship is for a popular ghost hunting show that Kyle loves and Bryan wants nothing to do with. But he needs an internship in order to graduate. The filming is the weekend prior to finals, which Bryan was planning on using as a cram session. Relunctantly he decides to go along. The site is in the middle of nowhere and is a run-down, abandoned church. Bryan almosts leaves when the 'crew' shows up. It's only the two stars, Travis and Joey, and their techy Ben. Travis fired everyone else prior to the filming and Bryan and Kyle are the "help". Travis is able to convince him to stay by promising a highe... morer title on the credits, which will look very good for Bryan's resume. Famous paranormal author, Katie Upshaw, is also tagging along. Bryan realizes that they know nothing about the history of Dancers Church and that lack of knowledge could have a heavy price tag.
review 2: From reading the story summary, I was expecting a horror novel, where characters go into a haunted house and meet their demise in gruesome, horrific fashion. However, for most of the book, it was really a sit-com. At one point, I glanced down at my progress and noticed I was at the 60% mark in the book - and NOTHING scary or horrific had happened at that point at all! People did indeed start meeting with unfortunate circumstances in the last third of the book, but it wasn't horrific, it was kind of silly. I really, really disliked this book. less

Well written horror story, a little bit of Lovecraft in the modern world.
