Poltergeist by James Kahn is not just a novelization—it’s a spine-chilling expansion of the iconic horror film that terrified an entire generation. This book plunges deeper into the paranormal nightmare of the Freeling family, whose peaceful suburban life is shattered when malevolent forces erupt from their home’s walls, closets, and TV screens. What begins as playful phenomena soon turns into full-blown terror as their youngest daughter, Carol Anne, is pulled into a spectral dimension.

Kahn doesn’t just retell the movie—he enhances it. With more psychological depth, vivid prose, and rich internal monologues, you get a terrifying front-row seat into each family member’s growing dread. You feel the confusion, the disbelief, and ultimately the soul-crushing fear as the haunting intensifies. And when the experts arrive—parapsychologists and spiritual mediums—the lines between science and superstition blur in a desperate battle to rescue Carol Anne.

The pacing is relentless. Just when you think the worst is over, the next chapter pulls you deeper into a realm of shadows, screaming voices, and impossible horrors. Yet at its heart, Poltergeist is about family, love, and the strength we summon when everything is at stake. It’s horror that makes you care—and then makes you scream.
