About this audiobook
An all-new creepy fantasy series from the New York Times bestselling author of Asylum.
Featuring stunning interior illustrations from artist Iris Compiet, plus photo-collages that bring the story to chilling life, House of Furies invites readers to a world where the line between monsters and men is ghostly thin.
After escaping a harsh school where punishment was the lesson of the day, seventeen-year-old Louisa Ditton is thrilled to find employment as a maid at a boarding house.
But soon after her arrival at Coldthistle House, Louisa begins to realize that the house’s mysterious owner, Mr. Morningside, is providing much more than lodging for his guests. Far from a place of rest, the house is a place of judgment, and Mr. Morningside and his unusual staff are meant to execute their own justice on those who are past being saved.
Louisa begins to fear for a young man named Lee who is not like the other guests. He is charismatic and kind, and Louisa knows that it may be up to her to save him from an untimely judgment. But in this house of distortions and lies, how can Louisa be sure who to trust?

What our readers think
Readers find this title to be an incredible and thoroughly enjoyable fantasy fiction with supernatural elements. The narration is wonderful and the book is pretty good. However, some readers feel that it could have had more information and more things happening."
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Thoroughly enjoyable fantasy fiction with supernatural elements! Narration was wonderful!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5So much going on its incredible, not what I expected and I would suggest going in knowing nothing, its more fun that way.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I Love this narrator so I listened to the book. It was pretty good but... I think it could have been more full of information. There should have been more things happening.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Madeleine Roux is one of my favorite writers …but of a different genre ...so I was very anxious...as well as surprised to read something different from her. Louisa’s troubles begin from the time she accepts a gold coin from an old woman and follows her promise of employment at Coldthistle House. The House is full of characters with. “Interesting abilities” that makes...or at least should make... the reader question the thin line here that stretches between what is right and what is wrong. The ending was a little disappointing and it cost it a half star... but I believe it’s because the reader becomes so engrossed in the characters...especially funny, cunning Louisa that you just imagine a different ending. If you like gothic stories...you’ll love this one.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5What started off as a strange beginning, took you immediately into a world where thievery and murder are everyday occurrences ( but not like what we see in our world today). Thai story grabs you by the shillings and whirls you around until your suddenly dropped in the house of Satan.
Though it’s mystery and the graphic demise of the evil doers is not so timid, the tone of this book is easily shareable with 6 graders. Boys and girls alike will enjoy reading this tale. I place it slightly more mature than the wonderful story called “Nightmares”. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It wasn't as engaging as I thought it would be, but it had a lot of potential and compelling qualities.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5North England, 1810. Louisa Ditton has just escaped from a terribly abusive boarding school. To avoid starving, she spends her days swindling money from unsuspecting customers at the market. One day, she receives an offer she can't refuse...a job at the Coldthistle boardinghouse. She soon discovers that the boarders at Coldthistle don't go there to stay, they go there to die. Madeleine Roux is a master of horror fiction. This book is not a quick read, but only because the story is so detailed and descriptive. I also recommend Roux's Asylum series if you like this one.
