Hell House
Rolf Rudolph Deutsch is going die. But when Deutsch, a wealthy magazine and newpaper publisher, starts thinking seriously about his impending death, he offers to pay a physicist and two mediums, one physical and one mental, $100,000 each to establish the facts of life after death. Dr. Lionel Barrett, the physicist, accompanied by the mediums, travel to the Belasco House in Maine, which has been abandoned and sealed since 1949 after a decade of drug addiction, alcoholism, and debauchery. For one night, Barrett and his colleagues investigate the Belasco House and learn exactly why the townfolks refer to it as the Hell House.

Ratings and reviews
I heard this was supposed to be one of the scariest books out there. Which for a fact it was toward the middle and end. There is a malicious ghost haunting, historic house secrets. A big house mystery, undocumented births, a lot of possessed erotic torture ( of course to the big breasted blonde medium ) ex Hollywood star ( I believe ) and uncomfortable situations for the rest of the characters. But the majority is aimed at the medium. And a machine that will save them all. Unlike a lot of reviews on here, I thought it was boring in the beginning, mild to wild in the middle and a dud climax at the end. If anything in this review pict your interest, by all means go for it. This book was not one of my favorites..
