Hell House – Richard Matheson
Hell House – Richard Matheson
If you enjoy fiction horror books
then you will absolutely enjoy this book by Richard, the story is set in
the December of 1970 and begins on the eighteenth. Barrett is a
parapsychologist and he has been waiting for over an hour to see an
eighty-seven-year-old millionaire named Rolph Rudolph Deutsch. Deutsch
is a dying man and the parapsychologist has never met him before and so
has no idea why the millionaire has requested to see him; although he
guesses that it will have something to do with parapsychology. Barrett’s
guess is correct; the dying man is looking for proof of survival after
death. Deutsch’s ‘people’ have recommended Barrett for the job because
he is believed to be one of the best in his field. His people never told
him, though, that Barrett is a cripple, and Deutsch mentions this fact
with a stunning lack of tact. Barrett is in his fifties and was crippled
by polio when he was just a young man, but he does not take obvious
offence to the millionaire’s statement. Especially not when he discovers
that Deutsch is prepared to pay him $100, 000 to bring him the proof he
requires-one way or the other. Either way, he will pay him for the
information, even if it is not what he wants to hear. He plans to send
Barrett to The Belasco House in Maine-a place that has seen too much
paranormal activity that it is more commonly referred to as Hell House.
Hell House was built in 1919 by a man named Emeric
Belasco. He was an evil man who created his own private Hell within the
walls of the house. Anything was considered acceptable in Belasco’s
house. Nothing was considered too sick or depraved. People came and
visited and never went home. So if you want to know more of what happens
next, the best choice is to visit us and but the books online. The
author was born in 1926 and this novel is not his first or his last. Richard Matheson
wrote the script for the film The Incredible Shrinking Man, an
adaptation of his second SF novel The Shrinking Man and the film won a
Hugo award in 1958.
