Purchase options and add-ons

In the small village of Buffalo Brook, Vermont stands Taylor Manse. A stately Victorian mansion built by the Reverend Michael Mariah Taylor in 1880, its living room floors stained with the blood of at least nineteen people, has just been purchased by Wade and Anne Robinson. Wade, a rehabber, has purchased the manse as a fixer-upper, an investment property he hopes to flip at a large profit, as soon as the rehab is completed. What Wade was not told when he purchased the property from the TRI Group was the violent history of the manse. He also had no idea that the TRI Group was Taylor Realty Investment Group, comprised solely of the grandson of the Reverend Michael Taylor, and that he is the first owner from outside the Taylor family in the manse's one hundred and twenty-five year existence. But, in a town the size of Buffalo Brook, it wouldn't be long before Wade would learn of the manse's history. Now, he had just five months to finish his project, or face the unsettling thought of still being there in December, the month in which all the previous murders had taken place-every twenty-five years. This coming December would mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of the last murders. If history could be considered a predictor of the future, he and Annie needed to be out of the manse by the end of November, or face whatever came this way every two-and-a-half decades.

Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2016
I don't believe I've ever heard a narrator so good that I could, as they say, listen to him read the phone book. That's Allan Philip Ormond, whose character portrayals are amazing. The story keeps you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what lies around the next corner. An excellent read.This audio book was provided by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling story, excellent narrator!
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2015
The story of Taylor Manse had me at the edge of my seat, quieting anyone who tried to talk to me while listening to it. Not only was the plot a mysterious and thrilling trip through the history of a haunted mansion and its murderous inhabitants, but the narration was superb! Each character took on a life of its own through Phillip's voice, all with their own personalities and quirks. Highly recommended! Phillip Ormond has narrated other novels, all of them also a great listen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Imaginative, entertaining, and scary......
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2006
C.H. Foertmeyer is the author of ten previous books. He favors fictional stories about the unknown, the mysterious, time travel, and the courage of honorable humans. With Taylor Manse he incorporates all these but adds a new, frightening twist: a hair- raising battle between good people and the ultimate Evil.

Wade Robinson is a skilled craftsman who buys, rehabs, and resells houses for a living. In the tiny hamlet of Buffalo Brook, Vermont he finds the ideal fixer-upper, a 19th century Victorian home named Taylor Manse. Several months into the project, Wade is beginning to suspect his wife Anne is "nesting." She's tired of moving from project to project and hopes to settle down in Taylor Manse for good. Two occurrences convince Wade that living at Taylor Manse is not in their best interest. First, locals at his favorite pub share the mansion's dark history: every 25 years on December 27th, gruesome murders and vanishings occur. And second, before Wade has time to investigate the mansion's history, his renovations uncover a trap door to nowhere in the center of the living room floor. At least, he THINKS it goes to nowhere.

The twenty-fifth anniversary of the last gruesome murder is fast approaching. Wade needs to finish rehabbing Taylor Manse so he and Anne can move on before December 27. But strange findings in a crumbling carriage house on the property distract him from the renovation. The impossible and unimaginable threaten his life and Anne's, and even moving thousands of miles across country can't protect them now.

In all his books, Foertmeyer writes about good vs. evil. In Taylor Manse our hero learns that once evil takes hold of a life, it does not let go without a fight. A supernatural, ancient horror stalks them and Wade must be the one to stand against it.

I've read every one of C.H. Foertmeyer's books and thoroughly enjoyed them all. All are imaginative, entertaining, and sometimes scary, but I think Taylor Manse may just be his best so far.
