Fiction. Horror. Literature. HTML:

A terrifying supernatural page-turner that explores ghosts, grief, and god complexes

Ever since their on-again, off-again college romance, Erin hasn't been able to set a single boundary with charismatic but reckless Silas, who has been chasing the next big high since graduation. When he texts her to spring him out of rehab, she knows enough is enough. She is ready to start a career, make new friends, and meet a great guyâ??even if that means cutting Silas off. But when Silas turns up dead from an overdose, Erin's world falls apart.

When Erin learns that Silas discovered a drug that allowed him to see the dead, she doesn't believe it's real but agrees to a pill-popping "séance" to ease her guilt and pain. When she steps back into the real world, she starts to see ghosts everywhere from her Southern hometown's bloody and brutal past. Are the effects pharmacological or something more sinister? And will Erin be able to shut the Pandora's box of horrors she has opened?

With propulsive momentum, bone-chilling scares, and dark meditations on the weight of history, this Southern horror will make you think twice about opening doors to the unknown.… (mehr)

Wow, just wow.

this book is dark, disturbing and chaotic to name a few things. But, despite all this it is a darn good read; not at all what I was expecting.

A descent into addiction and almost to madness, this book could be read as either a cautionary tale or a weird twist on a ghost story. However you read it, if you enjoy dark novels, this is the one for you.

I did spend most of the book angry at Erin who just made bad decision after bad decision knowingly, but Chapman's creativity in concept cannot be denied. ( )

Don't let my rating fool you -- I inhaled about 90% of this today. I couldn't put it down. In horror, there's always "a writer to watch" but I genuinely will be excited to see where Chapman goes from here (apologies Clay if you've written stuff before Ghost Eaters; I'm a newb to your stuff).

I agree with some other folks that there are multiple storylines in here, and not all of them are successful. However, I think Chapman does a wonderful job exploring the complexities of addiction, and he suffuses those conversations with empathy. Fiction has gotten much better at handling addiction themes, but I always tense up a bit when I see it's a central theme in a story. So, well done on that front, too. ( )

I just couldn't finish this book. The main character was getting on my nervous way to much.

A cautionary tale about what happens when you waste time on a deadbeat man. ( )
