"The House by the Cemetery involves everything that a horror aficionado could ever want―an undead witch, comic relief, a haunted house dedicated to obscure and not-so obscure horror films, and lots and lots of gore...Indeed, The House by the Cemetery could easily be transcribed into an action-packed screenplay" - The New York Journal of Books
Rumor has it that the abandoned house by the cemetery is haunted by the ghost of a witch. But rumors won’t stop carpenter Mike Kostner from rehabbing the place as a haunted house attraction. Soon he’ll learn that fresh wood and nails can’t keep decades of rumors down. There are noises in the walls, and fresh blood on the floor: secrets that would be better not to discover. And behind the rumors is a real ghost who will do whatever it takes to ensure the house reopens. She needs people to fill her house on Halloween. There’s a dark, horrible ritual to fulfill. Because while the witch may have been dead... she doesn’t intend to stay that way.

Review:
"The House by the Cemetery involves everything that a horror aficionado could ever want―an undead witch, comic relief, a haunted house dedicated to obscure and not-so obscure horror films, and lots and lots of gore...Indeed, The House by the Cemetery could easily be transcribed into an action-packed screenplay" - The New York Journal of Books
"The House by the Cemetery is a thoroughly enjoyable read, quickly paced with great writing, an interesting plot, some obscure references that were a lot of fun, a completely unforgettable climax, and good story resolution." - Don Gillette
"This is a book that is hard to put down. I devoured this book in two sittings, furiously turning pages towards the blood-soaked conclusion." - John DeNardo for Kirkus Reviews
"When the blood does hit the fan, the scenes are descriptive and dynamic - with almost film like quality...that ending is just to die for." - SFBook Reviews
"John Everson has created one of my top ten books of all time. The House By The Cemetery is a cauldron filled with devilry and witchery – all my favorite things. It’s a love story at its core, but on the surface, it’s a blood-curdling tale of utter mayhem and savagery. I loved every minute of this book. 2018 has seen several great books, but this one is a definite must read for all fans of horror" - Cedar Hollow Books
"More fun than any haunted attraction I’ve ever been to, just in time for my favorite holiday. If you only read one Halloween story this year, be sure to make this the one. As a footnote to any movie producers who might see this, The House by the Cemetery would make one helluva film" - Cemetery Dance
"Overall, this is a winner of a book and a fantastic ode to the genre fans with rich characters, fantastic plotting and an accessible writing style that yearns the reader to want more." - The Literary License Podcast
