Sometimes the truth will make you "bleed." The skeptics think they know what s going on at Gethsemane Hall. So do the religious. So do the spiritualists. They re all wrong. Richard Gray, grieving over the loss of his wife and daughter, learns that his ancestral home holds the secret of what lies beyond the grave. And all of a sudden, everybody wants a piece of Gethsemane Hall. Louise Meacham wants in because a fellow CIA agent committed suicide there, and she has to put the ghost rumours to rest to get her career back. Anna Pertwee wants in because she s determined to save the ghosts from the unbelievers and the debunkers. Patrick Hudson wants in because he has to save Gray s soul. So Gray will let them all in, these people who think they re coming for the truth. What they don t know is that the truth is coming for "them." "

Industry Reviews

Gethsemane Hall is a cerebral sort of horror, briefly hinting at what s to come with only visceral moments of violence and blood to punctuate the unsettling tone that hangs over each word. The tension spikes suddenly at appropriate, organic moments that never feel forced or tacked on out of necessity Even as you read the text, there is no obvious solution to the mystery. This is not a predictable, expository story nor is it a simple mystery to unravel. The questions continue to build as the story goes on in conjunction with the growth, or deconstruction, of the characters and comes to what is simply a disturbingly satisfying conclusion. Like all good horror, Gethsemane Hall plays tricks on the mind as you read before it decides to let you walk away. "
