Synopsis

Welcome to Cabin Green, where the setting is familiar, but the story is completely unexpected. A terrifying slow-burn that combines the literary Gothic prose of Shirley Jackson, Ambrose Bierce, and Thomas Tryon with the "what's really real?" aspects of The Shining. Cabin Green has also been compared to the devastation of Hereditary and the socially progressive, ambiguous approach of Paul Tremblay.

Going to Cabin Green alone after the death of his fiancée was Ben's first mistake. His second mistake was tempting fate by saying, "There's no such thing as an evil building." Now he's caught in a nightmare of his own making deep in the woods of Northern Michigan. Even worse, a family history of mental illness makes it impossible for him to know if the ghosts haunting the cabin are real or all in his head.

This modern Gothic horror story takes the listener directly into Ben's hellish experience. Is he crazy? Is a ghost haunting him? The only way to find out is to make it to the end of this deep, dark thrill ride that's filled with more twists than a roller coaster.

About April A. Taylor

April A. Taylor is an award-winning author and dark art photographer. Her Gothic horror novel The Haunting of Cabin Green was featured on the list of PopSugar's "13 Most Chilling Horror Books of 2018," Inquisitr's "Best Horror Books of 2018," Ranker's "2018's Scariest Horror Books," and BoredPanda's "7 Books That Scared Me Half to Death."

Many of April's books take their inspiration from real-life events. Local history is woven throughout the Alexa Bentley Paranormal Mysteries, and all of her stories contain at least one or two elements from the author's life.

Horror caught April's attention at a young age, and she's enjoyed exploring the darkness hidden inside everyone's psyche ever since. She's also intrigued by each person's capacity for astounding levels of goodness in the face of overwhelming evil.

April's horror, paranormal mysteries, and reimagined fairy tales tackle both these topics. The darker side of humanity is also on display inside her photographs, which have been published and exhibited around the world by a diverse list of media sources such as Fangoria, Scream: The Horror Magazine, and the short film Cathartic.

She lives in Michigan with the love of her life and their two cats. April is an active (professional level) member of the Horror Writers Association. If her life was a cartoon, she'd be Lisa Simpson.

Goodreads review by Rachael on February 17, 2019

I don't like writing negative reviews of books, as I can only imagine how disheartening it must be for the author. However in this case I can barely find a good thing to say about it. Firstly the writing style is infuriating. It reads like a teenager's first attempt at a novel, very stilted and unna......more

This was a very interesting psychological thriller that takes place in a cabin in the woods. In reminded me of a Stephen King novel. This was a steady paced story, and then you get slammed with something that happens which is so bizarre you can only imagine the difficulty for the character. This boo......more

Wow was this dark, but in a good way. I can't stop thinking about the ending and all of the different threads the author wove together. I'm going to have to read it again to make sure I picked up on all of the connections. Well written, truly horrific and it made me cry a couple of times. This might......more

Received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. This book will challenge its readers, and that is a good thing. You will not guess where she is going when you read this book. You are taken on a nightmarish, uncomfortable journey and you soon realize you can’t count on the standard rules of storyte......more

I was really excited to read The Haunting of Cabin Green because Northern Michigan is an area that doesn't get utilized very often. Which is a damn shame as the woods and areas can be very creepy. I like the cover, it's pretty and about what you would expect from a story with 'The Haunting' in the n......more
