Parce qu'il sent venir la mort et veut savoir si la survie est ou non une réalité, Deutsch fait appel au physicien et parapsychologue Lionel Barrett. Deutsch a acquis, dans l'État du Maine, la maison Belasco — abandonnée depuis trente ans et fatale à tout visiteur : la maison des damnés. A Barrett de percer le mystère du fantôme de Belasco. Deux spirites, un homme et une femme, accompagneront Barrett. Et les visiteurs découvrent une demeure qui vibre encore de tous les meurtres et de toutes les profanations dont elle a été le théâtre, une demeure qui métamorphose et «possède» ceux qui osent franchir son seuil.

I haven't got a clue how to rate this book. There are too many things I found either funny or plain bad. I even waited for a day or so to think about it. On the one hand, I like haunted house theme (half a star for the theme). On the other, there are tons of things which I really didn't like. First, it isn't scary. At all. Sure, there are a few moments that should have been scary, but for me they were plain flat - as if I was watching from above. Second, I didn't like the characters or how they were presented. Barret, the self appointed unofficial leader of the group of people who were hired to spend a few days in that house, is the worst with his constant patronizing chuckle and calmness. Simply put: I didn't like this story. The ending is hilarious. I think this story might probably be better as a film. I really thought I'd like this book more.

For over twenty years, Belasco House has stood empty. Its shadowed walls have witnessed scenes of almost unimaginable horror and depravity. Two previous expeditions to investigate its secrets met with disaster, the participants destroyed by murder, suicide or insanity. Now a new investigation brings four strangers to the forbidding mansion who are determined to probe Belasco House for the ultimate secrets of life and death. Each has his or her own reason for daring the unknown torments and temptations of the mansion, but can any soul survive what lurks within the most haunted house on Earth?
