Publisher Description
Willowbrook tells the story of Ben Hancock, a washed out painter that has had a run of terrible luck. He is divorced, away from his young son, and unable to create anymore. When his estranged father dies, Ben is suddenly left with a large sum of money and Willowbrook, a mansion in upstate New York. After reluctantly moving in, Ben notices his luck is changing. He becomes able to paint again, regain custody of his son, and even form a romantic relationship with one of the locals.
But not everything is as it seems in his new estate. The house has a violent history and Ben's own past starts to catch up with him. He begins to see images of Willowbrook in its former glory and the unraveling of events that led up to a tragic night more than thirty years prior. He sees the ghosts of children that once played in Willowbrook's halls. Are they trying to tell him of what once was? Do they want him to make it right? Or are they warning him of some present danger?
Customer Reviews
Willowbrook
I'm not a big reader and a book generally has to catch my attention almost immediately and keep it for me to even consider it and Willowbrook has defiantly done that and more. I couldn't put it down. It is definitely for a mature read because it does touch on some very graphic and at times disturbing topics. But all in all a FANTASTIC read.
Read Willowbrook!
Simply stated, Willowbrook was a fabulous read. Not being a huge fan of anything remotely related to ghosts, I was more than pleasantly surprised at how engrossed I was in this book. The characters, the story - everything was cleverly pieced together and incredibly descriptive. The ability to create such a vivid picture out of what are simply words on a page is a rare find, and in my opinion, for whatever it is worth, the mark of a truly talented writer. Instead of throwing out money on so-called writers (you know, the ones making millions on s&m trilogies), do yourself a favor and buy Willowbrook right now!
Wonderful read!
