Grave's endAugust 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a must read. I believe one of the best paranormal/haunting stories I have read. The writer covers every detail of the disturbances and constantly keeps you on edge. I couldn't put this book down

GRAVE'S END is the true written account of one family's struggles with living in a haunted house. Soon after Elaine Mercado and her family move into their Brooklyn home in 1982, paranormal activity begins to occur. At first there is simply the strong sensation of being watched, but things gradually begin to stir and increase with intensity as secret places within the house are explored and a few renovations take place.
After reading several brief accounts of real life experiences with the paranormal I decided I wanted to read something a bit more in-depth and it seems that Elaine Mercado has left no stones unturned with the brave sharing of her many encounters. Every time I'd scratch my head in doubt she'd quickly lay them to rest, leading me to believe that what she says is undoubtedly true. She's very consistent with her story and even voices her own doubts and unanswered questions after her house is cleansed by parapsychologist Dr. Hans Holzer and medium Marisa Anderson.
GRAVE'S END is probably the first book I've read that's actually given me nightmares and made me want to sleep with the lights on at night. So whether you believe her story or not, Elaine's got you covered if your looking for something chilling to read.

I have read this book four times thru the years I love it so much. It is the perfect haunted house book and very believeable. Some people wonder how she could keep living in a house like that, but I understand her because I also lived in two haunted houses myself and you can become sucked into them and sometimes even miss the excitement when you do leave! I love elaine's style of writing and just wish I could find another book as good as this one again. Thanks Elaine for your story.

I don't usually read this type of book but I wanted to try reading something scary. I had read quite a few Stephen King stories lately but they didn't do much. The night I started reading this book my dreams were a scary mix of what was going on in the story. It isn't the scariest story ever told but it is scary enough that I don't think I would want to step into this Brooklyn house today - definitely not then ...and you couldn't pay me enough to go down to the basement alone - creepy!
If it is all true , as the author swears it is, then maybe there is life after death.
great book!!!!March 12, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
