Spanning over 100 years of mid-Michigan history, The Eaton tells the story of Sam Spicer, a young entrepreneur who purchases the dilapidated Michigan Central Railroad Depot in Eaton Rapids with the dream of opening a hot new martini bar. But when he and his friends discover an abandoned underground hotel directly beneath the property, they must discover what happened to the original guests-before their own time runs out.
The Eaton is the debut novel of John K. Addis, and combines a flashback-based narrative structure with the gruesome style of '80s horror classics, creating a unique new voice critics are calling "fresh, original, and truly terrifying."

I found this book on Amazon's Kindle Unlimited list. I chose this book for a couple of reasons. The first is because of Whisper Sync. Do you know Whisper Sync? It's an awesome feature with Amazon, where you can have an ebook and an audiobook in one! With The Eaton by John K. Addis, it was as close to an audio drama as it could get!Secondly, the cover was weird enough to strike my fancy Thankfully, the story was a good choice. It wasn't scary, but offered situations and deaths that were as close to a horror movie as it could get. It entertained me and kept me listening, even when I thought I was getting bored with it. That's hard to do! read.

The story is about a young man who's finally living his dream, owning his own nightclub. With his fiancé and best friend, Sam takes a tour of a future purchase: a building. Surprisingly, they discover it's atop a 12-floored hotel... that's below ground! Thinking he's gotten more than he'd ever imagined, the three, along with a professional decorator and a family friend who'd assisted him in gaining a tour the facilities. But something is down below, waiting. It wishes to not be disturbed and is very unhappy.
The Eaton tells two stories, well honestly it tells several. The main storyline takes place in the here and now, but the one that gives all the what's and why's takes place in the past. The author, John K. Addis, did well with keeping the periods separate and offered up an explanation that tied everything together flawlessly. Though a bit wordy from time to time, it didn't hurt the tale nor annoy me.
The horror was in great taste and rather gruesome, but that's what I like in haunted stories. I don't think he could have done anything different. What also helped was the Whisper Sync, which turned my ebook into an audiobook! There were times I was able to read in bed, or listen while cleaning house and I'm going to tell you- the screams and crabbiness in the voices was pure perfection. This book was a trip and a half and I can't wait to find my next Addis book!

The Eaton (Audible Audio Edition) John K Addis Jeff Hays AE Press Books Reviews
I live in the area written about . I realize some of the book is fictional and fantasy, I still enjoyed it!! Could have happened.
I loved the idea about a hotel being found underground so I purchased the book. I was pleasantly surprised at how well the writer described the hotel. The first thing you hear about is the elevator. There is not too much to describe there but once they get into the lobby you feel as if you are viewing the place with your own eyes. They take you floor to floor, room to room. I loved the floor with the baths. Everything that happens in between just builds the suspense more. The characters are interesting but there is always more to learn about each one. What is after them is full of hate and just like in "The Thing" can take different forms. Can you trust anyone? Once they find a book with notes from an original guest they begin to understand and hope for a way out. But can they find it in time? This book kept my interest all the way through and I recommend it. A very good read.
I still think about this book sometimes. I read it 2 years ago. It wasn't perfect. But it had some very interesting, and cool themes. About a secret, classy, underground Hotel that was discovered after a guy buys the old Depot in Eaton Rapids. Turns out it was a secret for a reason. It was kinda like, The Shining meets Desperation. As I said, it wasn't perfectly done. It was, however, memorable, and local, and a bit scary 😁
I purchased the book after a friend recommended it. I don't live too far from the setting of the story which makes it even more appealing. I don't usually like ready horror novels because I usually end up reading them at night, can't sleep, well, you know how it goes. This book starts out pretty normal. I was so hooked into the plot of exploring the new found underground hotel that I never once thought "Stop!! Don't go in there!!". I was a part of the exploration just as much as the characters. What was there to see? Why was this place here? Why did no one know about it? How was it built?
I'll admit that I really didn't want the book to end. However, I didn't find myself feeling some level of claustrophobia. I wanted the characters to get out and breathe real air again. The book had some serious plot twists I didn't expect which is always a bonus to keep the reader going. This could be an excellent, creepy movie if the portrayal of "The Eaton" is as scary and mind crippling as in the book.
Well done and congratulations to the author! I hope there are more macabre thoughts coming soon.
I was drawn to read The Eaton as I live not far from Eaton Rapids and am very familiar with the town. For me, it added an extra layer of goosebumps as I suspended my disbelief and let myself think that just for now, Eaton Rapids really did have strange, horrible events taking place. If you like horror, you'll love this.
I'm not a huge fan of horror, although I do like psychological thrillers and I do like some of Stephen King's stuff.
I picked up this book because it was set in Eaton Rapids, Michigan which is very near Lansing, where I grew up. I really liked the history of Eaton Rapids that was incorporated by this author. I also love the idea of hidden rooms and passages, let alone an entire under ground hotel. Very cool.
The Eaton feels very similar to The Shining in the whole spooky, evil hotel thing and, if I can word this without giving away any spoilers, the mind-f**k of the evil was pretty cool too.
Pretty solid, enjoyable, old-school horror story here.
A new owner of an old train depot thought he was just buying a bar, but he got much more than that. He discovers a trap door that leads to an underground hotel. Why has no one today heard of The Eaton?
The author alternates between current events back to the hotel's grand opening years before. What happened back then?
What is real and what is an illusion? Will anyone survive?
