You know the page at the beginning of a book where they have to say “This is a work of fiction”? Well, I can’t say that. This is the true story of the haunted house I grew up in. I may have changed the names of people and places to protect the privacy of my family and the other folks involved, but this is not just another one of those made-up spooky stories about a creepy old house. This is not the story of a mansion with grave stones out front and a witch flying overhead letting every kid in the neighborhood know they needed to stay away. This is not the story with vampires and werewolves in the basement or mummies in the tower. This is not the story of a terrible curse and a group of kids who manage to outwit the monster and live happily ever after.
This is the story of a house that most people didn’t think was haunted, of a kid who most people thought was just using his big imagination, and of a family that had no idea what all they were getting into when they bought it.
This is the story of a real house where real people lived and died. And though I’ve moved away and grown up, there are still real people who live there…and who…don’t live…there.
And the main reason I am writing this is because the family who lives in it right now…might be yours.
Memoirs of a Haunted House edition by Alfred Eyrie Children eBooks
Alfred Eyrie delivers just what he promises, his book is a memoir of a haunted house. Misunderstood and stuck in the middle of his two brothers, Alfred and his family move into an old house. His parents are charmed by it, but right from the start Alfred is creeped out by things that go bump in the night. This is a family story, a realistic recounting of the living haunted by the souls held by the house. Its sadness seeps into their traditions, affecting their holidays and ultimately their bond and happiness as a unit. Sadly, Alfie is the only one who senses something, and is both ridiculed and ignored. Eyrie writes with a natural voice, his boyish memories vivid. Particularly poignant is the realization that his family is not like the others. He is different from his brothers and he learns to keep his dreams to himself. The question remains did the house cause the ultimate breakdown in his parent's marriage, aggravating issues that were already there or did the spirits cause friction, afraid that somebody might find warmth, peace and happiness in a home that disappointed their own dreams.Product details

Memoirs of a Haunted House edition by Alfred Eyrie Children eBooks Reviews
Unlike most of the books I've read on this subject, there is a sense of nostalgia throughout the story that drew me in. The author is a fantastic storyteller. I couldn't put it down, and I didn't want it to end. I have read probably hundreds of books on the paranormal/supernatural and this one ranks in the top three! Thank you for sharing your story, Alfie...I loved it!
Pretty good book - I liked the way it was written. It definitely brought to mind the way a kid thinks. I wanted more detail, though. I felt like some of the ideas were worth expanding on, and were not.
This is an enjoyable read that will make your spooky childhood memories come flooding to the front of your mind. It is not overly scary, but rather introspective regarding the weird happenings in the house, and the lonesome feeling that comes when no one believes you about it. A fair portion of the book is reflecting on childhood memories that do not have much to do with the haunted house, but are written in such a way to be entertaining, some parts laugh-out-loud when you see what the author is getting at. I was able to identify with much of the book's content, and recommend this read for fans of the paranormal, and anyone who has had that scary basement that you run away from for no logical reason.
While the haunting aspects of this story were mild, I still found the story interesting. The story that could be about any family, anywhere. I would have liked to have seen the periphery characters a little more fleshed out, but since the story was mainly about the main character, I can forgive that. I also got the feeling this might have been the author's first book, if so, he did a decent job. I found myself hating the father in the book for his behavior that was both careless and abusive in my mind. While the author states that this is a work of fiction, these things did happen. This left me confused. Was it a work of fiction merely because names, location and a few situations were changed? In my mind, that doesn't constitute "fiction." If it was more than that, I wish I had known it was fiction before the epilogue. Had I known that, I actually probably wouldn't have read it. All in all a good effort.
