Download As PDF : Hollow House eBook Greg Chapman 
No one in Willow Street pays it any notice, not the disgruntled Campbell family next door, not Alice Cowley and her suicidal daughter, or Mr. and Mrs. Markham down the road. Not even Darryl, the loner at number seventy, who is abnormal himself, thinks much about it. It is just the old Kemper House, forgotten and abandoned.
Until it makes itself known.
When the stench of death wafts from Kemper House through Willow Street, and comes to the attention of recent resident and newspaper reporter, Ben Traynor, it starts a chain of horrors that brings Kemper House's curse into their own homes and leads others direct to its door. Kemper House not only haunts its neighbours, it infects them with an evil that traverses time and reality itself.

Hollow House eBook Greg Chapman Reviews
I read this story in one sitting. It hooked me in and kept me wondering what came next. The derelict neighborhood house is so much more than what it seems. Mr. Chapman told a good story...can't wait to read the rest of his books!
A cross between hell house, house of leaves, rosemarys baby and an hp Lovecraft story. Would have been five stars if it was simply ghosts and not something less believable, if that makes sense
This is the first of Greg Chapman's novels I've read. Really enjoyed it. Smooth logical haunted house tale with some nice macabre twists. Strong characters, good pacing throughout. A real page turner. I got through this in a few short days cos I didn't want to stop reading.
It’s no secret that Greg Chapman is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I’ve written many reviews of his work, and everything that comes out of his head is fantastic. From his writing to his artwork, he doesn’t let up. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – there’s a reason he is a Bram Stoker Award winner.
So obviously when I heard he finally finished his debut novel, I couldn’t wait to read it. While I was presented with an ARC, I didn’t get a chance to read it until after the book’s release – and still bought a hard copy.
What can I say about Hollow House without making it seem like Annie Wilkes is writing this?
On the surface – after reading the “back cover” description, Hollow House seems like the typical haunted house story. There are thousands of them out there. In fact, I wrote one in 7th grade that won 1st prize and a copy of The Red Pony. The haunted house story seems to be the mainstay of every budding horror writer; it’s easy. Take The Haunting of Hill House, for example. This book is on every “must-read” list (although I found it to be tedious, pedantic, and boring). Because of this, many people may overlook, or avoid, haunted house books.
That being said, this one is not to be missed.
Greg weaves a haunted house tale, with the house actually being a bit player. The real gem of the book is the way Greg tells the stories of the neighbors living around the Kemper House. They are real, and believable; as you read their stories, you can see them as your own neighbors. Then Greg breaks it down even further by making us realize that we never really know our neighbors. Sure, we say hi to them while getting the mail, or we may even have them over for a BBQ, but we really don’t know what goes on behind their doors and windows.
To use a much overused cliché, Hollow House is a page-turner. Simply because Greg masters the art of providing just enough to build your curiosity about one character, only to pull back and start in with another character. You push on reading for the need to know what happens to [insert name here].
Now, no review would be a true review with only positives, and I am nothing if not honest. The only downside to Hollow House is that I felt it ended too early and too quickly. While I enjoyed the ending, I felt it to be a little ambiguous, which, while not necessarily being a bad thing, didn’t seem like the right fit for such a tight and well written story.
Don’t let the fact that this is a “haunted house” story dissuade you from giving it a shot. Just like The Shining wasn’t a story about a haunted hotel, Hollow House really isn’t a story about a haunted house.
But let me warn you, after reading this, you may just walk on the other side of the street when passing that abandoned house on your block – or worse, move.
I was spooked out, this book did it's job in giving me a scare. I enjoyed getting to know the character's.
The writer's style is good & easy to follow. My only issue (spoiler) was how the house was undefeatable it just killed everyone in it's path. No one stood a chance against it.... Jo
I’m always excited when new horror fiction talent arrives on the scene. If Hollow House is any indication of future novels by Greg Chapman then us horror fiction fans have a lot to look forward to.
Hollow House is an original take on the haunted house story. The old house is in the middle of a modern American suburb. It seems to go unnoticed until a foul stench starts emanating from it. Then the neighbors do take notice. As the police remove a dead body from the old house one of the neighboring kids decides to go snooping around it and gets absorbed into the house’s dark void.
The kid becomes the house’s puppet and terrorizes other households in the neighborhood. All of them already have deep wounds existing and the house knows just where to pour the salt.
Greg Chapman’s prose are stylish in the way many british writers are (Chapman’s actually Australian), yet efficient in his character development and storytelling. Hollow House is pure horror much in the way Pet Semetary is pure horror. And this horror is playing to win.
Four Stars ****
Greg Chapman has an excellent grasp of the English language, leaving you gasping for air as you speed through the book. I am a slow reader, and I still finished it in two days. I loved it. Read about a house that emanates evil, that destroys the lives of those around it. Follow the story of a group of people living near the house in question as they fight for their families to stay together, even as they fight for their very souls. An ancient evil is awake, and it is coming.
If you like haunted houses, you will love this story. Excellent characters - ones you will love and ones you will hate. Well thought-out descriptions - never too much and never too little. The pace is brisk and the ante is constantly being raised. If you want a fast-paced read that will have you on the edge of your seat, this is worth the small price. Give Greg Chapman a look. You will enjoy this book,
