Synopsis

Twenty years ago, the mysterious death of his aunt left Aaron Holbrook orphaned and alone. He abandoned his rural Arkansas hometown vowing never to return, until his seven-year-old son died in an accident, plunging Aaron into a nightmare of addiction and grief. Desperate to reclaim a piece of himself, he returns to the hills of his childhood, to Holbrook House, where he hopes to find peace among the memories of his youth. But solace doesn’t come easy. Someone—or something—has other plans.Like Aaron, Holbrook House is but a shell of what it once was, a target for vandals and ghost hunters who have nicknamed it “the devil’s den.” Aaron doesn’t believe in the paranormal—at least, not until a strange boy begins following him wherever he goes. Plagued by violent dreams and disturbing visions, Aaron begins to wonder if he’s losing his mind. But a festering darkness lurks at the heart of Holbrook House…a darkness that grins from within the shadows, delighting in Aaron’s sorrow, biding its time.

The Bird Eater honestly has one of the best opening chapters to a horror book I’ve read. It really sets up the tone of what’s to come, and the terror, so well. 🐦🩸 Ania Ahlborn is back once again with a highly readable, fast-paced horror story that reads exactly like you are watching a movie.

Goodreads review by Johann (jobis89)

“You couldn’t live with the devil and expect to come out whole.” First of all, there’s a dog called Barney in The Bird Eater, so we’re off to a great start in this review! The book is commendable for that reason alone. Ahlborn writes some of the most readable, yet highly addictive horror stories. When......more
