Story
It’s the house of their dreams. Former marine Harry and his wife, Sasha, have packed up their life and their golden retriever, Dash, and fled the corporate rat race to live off the land in rural Idaho. Their breathtaking new home sits on more than forty acres of meadow, aspen trees, and pine forest in the Teton Valley. Even if their friends and family think it’s a strange choice for an up-and-coming pair of urban professionals, Harry and Sasha couldn’t be happier about the future they’re building, all by their lonesome.

Evacuated from a secluded boarding school during a snowstorm, her coach careered off the road, trapping her with a handful of survivors.

She’s in a cable car stranded high above snowy mountains, with five strangers and no memory of how they got on board. They are heading to a place known only as “The Retreat,” but as the temperature drops and tensions mount, Meg realizes they may not all make it there.

Everyone has wanted their favorite book to be real, if only for a moment. Everyone has wished to meet their favorite characters, if only for a day. But be careful in that wish, for even a history laid in ink can be repaid in flesh and blood, and reality is far deadlier than fiction...especially on Addington Isle.

Very Good Psychological Horror
- By Cindy on 2023-02-07
Written by: Catriona Ward
Publisher's Summary
A terrifying supernatural audiobook that explores ghosts, grief, and god complexes
Ever since their on-again, off-again college romance, Erin hasn’t been able to set a single boundary with charismatic but reckless Silas, who has been chasing the next big high since graduation. When he texts her to spring him out of rehab, she knows enough is enough. She is ready to start a career, make new friends, and meet a great guy—even if that means cutting Silas off. But when Silas turns up dead from an overdose, Erin’s world falls apart.
When Erin learns that Silas discovered a drug that allowed him to see the dead, she doesn’t believe it’s real but agrees to a pill-popping “séance” to ease her guilt and pain. When she steps back into the real world, she starts to see ghosts everywhere from her Southern hometown’s bloody and brutal past. Are the effects pharmacological or something more sinister? And will Erin be able to shut the Pandora’s box of horrors she has opened?
With propulsive momentum, bone-chilling scares, and dark meditations on the weight of history, this Southern horror will make you think twice about opening doors to the unknown.

Happy and Spooked Out
I love and read all things scary. At this point it's difficult to spook me after 30 years of devouring horror. This tale was original, interesting, and scary. Great story telling in this book in that I was there with the characters. The author created a visual experience for me with her words, as well as Steven King another great story teller. I wish I could forget the story so I could read it again.

Solidly crafted storytelling
This book was visceral and cinematic. GHOST EATERS had everything--slow building dread, the hopelessness of addiction, ghosts, and the 'just right' amount of creepiness to keep a reader riveted. The main character, despite addiction, was solidly realized and could act on her own wants rather than just being pushed through the story by other characters or plot points. I truly appreciated the lack of a male gaze throughout. The narration was immersive, beautifully modulated, and melodic. Genre-wise this book felt like it leaned a little more toward upmarket horror or literary. The pace throughout felt leisurely and while there was a plot (and a good one) the story overall seemed more character driven. Structurally, Chapman's writing is a pleasure to read (and listen to). It's both lyrical and interesting, with a nice variation to sentence length throughout. Fans of Kathe Koja's SKIN or her THE CIPHER will find GHOST EATERS similar in terms of craft, with elegant sentences that are sometimes dreamily paced and winding, and at other times have a clearly defined internal cadence that thrusts the reader forward. The end result is a work that feels musical throughout. Masterfully done. 5 stars. Highly recommend!

Cool concept, lackluster writing
I wanted to like this but the writing was just so heavy-handed. There was lots of purple prose and way too much internal dialogue. To me, Erin felt like a more modern version of Bella from Twilight - just a girl obsessed with a guy for some reason. I suspect this wouldn't pass the Bechtel test...

Well Written and Exceptionally Performed
This story isn't very "scary" but it is haunting. The allegory is very straightforward, but still well crafted. I think this writer writes very well, very descriptive - I could see everything in my mind's eye. I think the use of the location of Richmond worked very well with the overall theme of the book. I wish there was more to the main character, I don't want to give too much away but certain things about her got annoying - I wish there was more depth there and I cared more about these things that were happening to her. I think the climax could have been a bit more climactic, and the ending wrapped everything up very quickly.
The narrator was great, I listen to a decent clip of audiobooks and feel like I know good from bad at this point - this one is one of the best I've heard. I will go and actively try to seek out more by her. I'm wondering if I would have liked the story less if read by a less talented narrator.

Addiction = Haunting
Listen to this, now. Beautifully written, perfectly narrated.
You think it's going to be one thing based on the title and the prologue but it's something else entirely.
What is the difference between addiction and being haunted? Are we addicted to those we love? if so can they become our drug? and furthermore, what does withdrawal look like?
I love this book and it goes in my list of my favorite horror novels.

Makes King look curt. Wordy af. Anti-climactic. Shallow. I'd rather suffer Dexter books.
Way too much time spent in things that were supposed to be cringe or dread. Only thing that kept me going was hoping for some crazy revelation, some twist to blow me away that never came.
Insert any boring real life drug addict story and change the drug name to "ghost". Maybe that's the point. This was painful to finish. The narrator was amazing though.
