Blurb: Darkhouse (Experiment in Terror #1)
There’s always been something a bit off about Perry Palomino. Though she’s been dealing with a quarter-life crisis and post-college syndrome like any other twenty-something, she’s still not what you would call “ordinary.” For one thing, there’s her past which she likes to pretend never happened, and then there’s the fact that she sees ghosts.
Luckily for her, that all comes in handy when she stumbles across Dex Foray, an eccentric producer for an upcoming webcast on ghost hunters. Even though the show’s budget is non-existent and Dex himself is a maddening enigma, Perry is instantly drawn into a world that both threatens her life and seduces her with a sense of importance.
Her uncle’s haunted lighthouse provides the perfect catalyst and backdrop for a horrific mystery that unravels the threads of Perry’s fragile sanity and causes her to fall for a man, who, like the most dangerous of ghosts, may not be all that he seems.
If you love the tv show Supernatural, then you will definitely love The Experiment in Terror series by author Karina Halle. The series centers around characters Perry and Dex, two people who stumble upon each other in the most strangest of situations. Perry is a 22yo college graduate living in Oregon with her parents and younger sister. Dex is a 32yo cameraman living in Seattle. They meet one night when Perry and her family are visiting her uncle who happens to own a so called haunted lighthouse. One night Perry sneaks off from a bonfire to check out the mysterious lighthouse and runs into Dex who is filming and trespassing for his new internet show involving ghost hunting. Perry is skeptical of Dex as they wind up searching the lighthouse together. During their tour Perry hears and sees things that apparently aren’t there. Dex needing a partner propositions Perry to be on the show with him. Perry agrees even though she finally has a stable job and bringing in a income since graduating college. Perry is a character that I would characterize as having low self esteem, never classified as the pretty girl, was overweight in high school, and had problems with drugs. Perry has a history of mental illness, having hallucinations, seeing people that were already dead and Perry believing that they were alive. But, what Perry and her family don’t know is that she has a gift for seeing dead people in a morbid Sixth Sense kind of way. Dex is intriguing and also has a history of mental illness. Even though Dex and Perry seem very different at first even to each other, they are very much alike and have a shared past that you won’t see coming.
The show Supernatural and The Experiment in Terror series both battle the supernatural and they both have a partner in crime, but they’re also a lot different, the duo int the EIT series are coed, they have a internet show showcasing their ghost hunting skills, and both unbeknownst to others and themselves have supernatural abilities. This could be a really great show and give the Supernatural tv series a run for it’s money. The EIT series takes on a new spin for this genre. And I know that people love the Supernatural tv show, but sometimes you have to know when to end it. I feel like the show has run it’s course and something new has to come in. All these novels have the potential to be great shows and movies, it just takes one executive to take notice. To not only option the novel but to put it into fruition. Maybe that person will be me! Hey I’m working on it. But until then please put enough hype into this series to make it into a tv show. It’s awesome, the scenery and relationship between the protagonists are very realistic. So please check out the series and the wonderful author Karina Halle, who put this all together.
