Warren Hollis is a seasoned true crime writer. He likes to submerge himself in the local culture when he writes, so he packs his essentials and heads to Knorr, Pennsylvania. It’s a tiny town in western PA, the kind of town most people on their way to Pittsburgh or New York would drive right past. It’s a town full of friendly, smiling people, but it hides a dark past. Years ago a man began sneaking into the bedrooms of young girls and taking them under the cover of night. Days later, a grisly calling card would be left for the families to find. He became known as “The Boogeyman” and the rural town of Knorr, and the surrounding communities, have done all they can to forget those terrible days when no one was safe, not even when nestled into their own beds. Warren arrives and starts asking questions. He stays at a small cabin just outside of town. It’s a nice place, exactly what he’s looking for. There’s just one strange thing a big, heavy black phone at the top of the stairs. It’s not connected to anything. The phone is just a decorative hold-over from the party line days. Something about it disturbs Warren, the way something about Knorr disturbs him, as well. Someone is hiding something about “The Boogeyman.” Then the killing starts again. And, in the middle of the night, a phone that should never be able to ring - begins to do just that...

From the first chapter, the author pulled me in! The bucolic rural setting and the writer poised to begin work on a new project - it all seemed too good to be true - and it was! The author quickly created suspense by having the landlord walk up on the writer and startle him while he was examining the odd alcove containing a very old telephone. Then the reader is teased with some interesting background and history of the writer for several pages and is lulled into a false sense of the serenity of this idyllic locale. Then, a disturbing discovery and a creepy lunch with the landlord pull you in and you cannot put the Kindle down! I won't say more because I want you to discover for yourself the excellent story and suspenseful plot Mr. Alaspa uses to hook and reel-in the reader. It is true the typos are a tad distracting but the plot, characters, and creation of a great "read" far outweighed any minor flaws. This is the book you want to read late at night in bed! You feel the hairs rising on the back of your neck as the suspense builds and every creak of your house or loose shutter banging in the wind takes on new meaning while reading this book. There is a strong paranormal element that gives this book a strong dynamic! I especially loved the author's twist of humor. It made me feel as if I were reading a diary and that this was real - just the kind of book I want to read!Product details

The Dead Phone Bryan W Alaspa 9781466363458 Books Reviews
The story line itself was quite good and has great potential. However, the writing was unpolished and contained many errors. This resulted in an inability to really get drawn into the story. Also, the author didn't seem to know how serial killers actually worked, nor did he seem to research other key aspects of the story thoroughly. Being an avid researcher, I was offended by the inccuracies. With work, this could really be a chiller. It also has great movie appeal.
I absolutely loved this book! It kept you guessing the whole time. I am surprised this was a free download, it is that good
This book has so much promise. The plot is good and it's even kind of eerie at times. I might have been sitting on the edge of my seat had the writing itself not kept pulling me out of the story. There are typos, poor sentence structure, incorrect word usage, etc. But, I think the most annoying thing of all was the word echoes. Well, that and sentences starting with "He saw...", "He heard..." or "He ... <did whatever>". If this novel were edited, tightened up and made to flow smoothly, it would be a good book. Because he knows how to create a story/plot, I'll probably give this author another try and see if the writing is better.
This story is KIND OF like a Stephen King novel in a way. Its pretty interesting and a fairly good read but is in terrible need of editing.
Enjoyed this book very much. Through the reading you thought you knew who might have done it, but if you have read mysteries before you know this is a rouse. The end is very unexpected. This was a great read.
Although this is quite suspenseful, I think I've become immune to being frightened by so called horror novels. The story could have been more developed. The ending seemed too nicely wrapped in a package. With such suspense, I expected the ending to pack a bigger punch. I would be angry had I purchased this book at any price; fortunately it was free.
Can you imagine being miles away from home in a house in the middle of nowhere when the phone awakens you in the middle of the night? For Warren Hollis, this happens every night while staying outside a small community where a serial killer committed murders of several little girls years ago. What makes it even scarier is that the phone not only has not been used in years, but it's dead...no connection, and yet Warren gets these garbled messages from someone on the other end of the phone. As time goes on, it's clear the voices know who he is and why he is there. Warren Hollis is a true crime writer from Chicago who goes to a small town in Pennsylvania to write about the unsolved murders. With the help of the newspaper editor, Tabitha Reed, they work together to try to come up with some answers, especially when the killings begin again.
Author, Bryan Alaspa, does a wonderful job of creating his characters so the reader gets a real sense of who they are. Just the description of the house where Warren is staying makes me want to have my own house out in the woods...minus the scary black dead phone. Alaspa is masterful at building the suspense, especially when the phone rings. It makes me think of scary movies when the camera starts panning down the hall and the spooky music starts playing. You just know that each time the phone rings, that it's going to be more intense than it was the time before. Balancing out the suspense, Alaspa throws in enough lighter moments, particularly with the banter between Warren and Tabitha. I really like how their relationship developed without feeling forced. I hope these characters will show up another time. I want to see what happens next for them. If you like murder mysteries with plenty of suspense with some supernatural thrown in for good measure, I recommend THE DEAD PHONE BY Bryan Alaspa.
