The House That Fell From the Sky by Patrick Delaney is a story that is both vividly descriptive and eerily suspenseful.
I really thrive on stories like this because I crave the extra time an author takes to build a scene or help a reader with imagery. I often don’t do well putting a clear picture in my mind but this is something I thought Delaney did extremely well. It was actually beautiful how he stitched each sentence together into a nice rythme creating the perfect flow. This made for an excellent reading experience. I wasn’t really on edge throughout the book but I enjoyed the suspense that consistently crept along as I read each chapter. I’ve read a lot reviews that talk about the length of the book and although it is an intimidating size, I wasn’t bothered by it. I really like the authors writing style. It was calming which is weird to say about a horror book but it was just nice to relax and read without the anxiousness I normally get from books in the genre. I’m a sucker for series of books and I’ve heard he has another book written in the same world coming out soon called Silvers Hollow which I can’t wait to get my hands on after reading this delightful supernatural tale.
The House That Fell From The Sky by Patrick Delaney is a comforting horror tale that I think readers are going to find creepy and delightful at the same time. I recommend this book to fans of the genre looking for a ominous supernatural story not like anything else you’ve read recently, I promise. Delaney is an incredible storyteller that leaves nothing to the imagination. I’m confident readers will find this book to be gratifying in that the author knows how to set the reader up for a satisfying experience.
