You sure you wanna read it? Many people This was a pretty scary book. He knows it is and willingly rents the place to families with little kids. Anyhow, the book goes into detail about what happens in the house, the noises they hear, the things and spirits they see, strange occurrences with possible possession. The author and his children moved out of the house but subsequently he returns to help another tenant deal with the paranormal experiences she witnesses. If you enjoy ghosts, paranormal, or just plain scary stuff you will enjoy the book.

I was just cruising through Barnes and Noble and happened upon a Halloween inspired table.
Remembering the book Amityville Horror and how it was kinda fun to be spooked, I thought I would try another book. I grabbed this book and was anxious to start it. I found it very interesting with plenty of 'spook factor' and made me ponder the existence of 'evil' and life after death.
The only thing that was annoying was in the writing style where there were plenty of leading thoughts i. One or two would be acceptable, but it seemed it happended at least twice per chapter.

Outside of that, it was a quick read and there were a couple of times, I didn't want to be alone while reading. The book gave me what I was looking for. Nov 30, Alicia rated it it was amazing. I liked this for all of the reasons that one likes a paranormal story but most of all, I am touched by what a loving father Steven comes across as. I am currently reading the second book in the saga and, again, whatever they go through, the thing that I take away is the power of a loving family.

The sign of a good book for me is being hooked on the first page to the point that I don't want to put it down.
The preface of The Univited did that hands down. It was written in such a way that I truly felt Mr. LaChance was speaking directly to me using "my" language and the rest of the book did not disappoint.

Jun 10, Julie rated it really liked it Shelves: A quick, easy, terrifying read. Obviously his first effort based on the writing, but a worthwhile read.
Could have used another heavy edit, the pacing was a bit off and there were more than a few jarring moments. I personally would have taken a more psychological and scientific route in the wrap up, but that's my opinion, not a true critique. This fits the genre well, is really a nice read overall and I look forward to the next offering, hopefully one with a stronger edit and more practiced styl A quick, easy, terrifying read.

Dec 07, Sheila rated it really liked it Shelves: This was a fast read with a pretty high creep factor. The beginning and middle are fantastic, and are very well written. The ending seemed like it was a bit labored, but nonetheless, The Uninvited is an interesting case and an enjoyable book.

Steven LaChance does a good job of making you feel just as frustrated and scared for his children as he was.
The Uninvited: The True Story of the Union Screaming House by Steven LaChance
This is the story of a single dad who found a great deal on a house that seemed to be perfect for him and his kids LaChance finally has to take matters into his own hands after the paranormal activity escalates and the hou This is a pretty good book as far as "true haunting" books go. LaChance finally has to take matters into his own hands after the paranormal activity escalates and the house is undeniably haunted.
Jan 15, BookActivist rated it it was amazing. Well, let me just say this book utterly scared the CRAP out of me! The things that happened in this book was just almost too much for me to comprehend. I wanted to pretend as though they could not and did not exist. I can't even begin to imagine how those who actually experienced these events felt, but me I was running in terror from the book all the while not being able to put it down.
The writing was smooth making the book an easy read. Jan 18, Reese rated it liked it Shelves: Read in one sitting. Far from masterfully written, but a good creepy tale nonetheless. LaChance claims it to be a true firsthand account of his time in a house haunted by demons in a small Missouri town, and while I found its authenticity somewhat questionable and its Catholic leaning somewhat annoying, these are two pretty unavoidable themes in a book of this nature and one cannot really fault him for it. Jun 23, Mel rated it it was amazing.
I dont generally get "freaked out" by very much, I love everything paranormal and it takes quite a bit to get me feeling a bit uneasy This story is well written, Steven really gets into your mind and gets it racing. I would recommend this to anyone who'd like a good "creepy" read! Nov 13, Kelly rated it really liked it Shelves: This is a fascinating and often painful story that is told with sincerity.
The writing style gets a bit annoying at times e. Nonetheless, I read it all in two sittings since it was extremely compelling to me as a fan of "true haunting" stories. Apr 18, Shawna rated it really liked it. I knew from the cover that this book would scare the bejeezes out of me, and yet I just couldn't seem to help myself! I took the darn thing home and read it alone at night The end envokes freaky scenes from "The Exorcist" with a little old church-going woman possessed and screaming every horrible profanity you can imagine. It still gives me chills! There are no discussion topics on this book yet.

His story, the very short version of it, was in the book Weird Hauntings , which I have recently read. But if you have seen his story on A Haunting , or read it online, or in another book, those barely scrape the surface on everything that happened. This book has all the details, and there is a lot that happened. I only found out last year that Steven LaChance had even written a book. I just had to read it, but no libraries near me had it.
When I had the money to buy it, I did. And I am glad that I did. Some people might not believe Steven LaChance; they may think he is lying. But, I believe what happened to him. These type of hauntings, the kind Steven experienced, are definitely real. But I thought it was a great book. Steven LaChance has an easy writing style.
