Before We Go Blog.
“...there was something powerful about fear. It unlocked something in your brain that you didn't know existed, and nine times out of ten you found yourself grateful to the person responsible for its undoing.”
The Last Haunt by Max Booth III is a chilling novella about an extreme haunted house known as McKinley Manor. Located in the small town of Pork Basket, Texas, visitors to McKinley Manor are willingly subjected to physical and psychological torture by its sadistic owner, Gus McKinley, and his band of pillowcase-wearing minions.
The blood-curdling screams emanating from McKinley Manor obviously raise concerns among the neighbors, who are quick to call the cops:
“I found a woman, chains wrapped around her wrists, hanging her from the ceiling. I found a man with a pillowcase over his head, eye holes crudely cut in the middle of the fabric. He was standing behind her, holding a mini chainsaw in one hand and a melting popsicle in the other.”
The novella is based on the real-life McKamey Manor, known as America’s most extreme haunted house. Proprietor Russ McKamey livestreams footage of his visitors being waterboarded, drugged, forced to drink vomit, or worse, to his closed Facebook group. McKamey accepts dog food as payment from his visitors, promising a substantial cash prize for anyone who can finish the full experience. (No one ever has.)
The setup for The Last Haunt is essentially identical to the real-life McKamey Manor but with the names changed to Gus McKinley and McKinley Manor. Although Gus also requires dog food as payment, he doesn’t own any dogs (due to allergies) and donates the dog food to a local animal shelter.
Given the close parallels between The Last Haunt and the actual McKamey Manor, I was ready to write this off as a well-written but predictable horror. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Max Booth III takes the true horrors of McKamey Manor and escalates them to terrifying new levels in The Last Haunt.
The Last Haunt is told as an oral history with accounts from witnesses, family members, neighbors, and associates after the so-called McKinley Manor massacre that occurred one tragic Halloween. Piecing together information from these various perspectives, the reader slowly stitches together what may or may not be the full story of that fateful night.
I devoured this novella in a single sitting, becoming increasingly engrossed and repulsed as the events of the story unfolded. The oral history format adopted by Max Booth III gripped me throughout the book, as he masterfully guides the reader from the believable to the unimaginable.
The Last Haunt is highly recommended for haunted house enthusiasts and anyone looking for a good scare. I look forward to reading more from Max Booth III in the future. -
The Last Haunt by Max Booth III was an interesting book. Through reading it, I entered a world I was completely unaware existed - extreme haunted houses. This book is inspired by an actual extreme haunt and if you do a search, I imagine you'll find it rather quickly as I did. Or you may already know of it. Like the real place, the haunt featured in this story is surrounded by controversy.
The story is presented in three parts and is told in interview style, which makes it a very quick read and hard to put down. I was late getting back to work from reading breaks more than a few times because I just couldn't stop. I had to see what the next person had to say in their interview snippet!
Part One of the story gives the setup and background of the haunt and the man who runs it. You quickly get the idea that something horrible has happened there. The suspense builds until Part Two, which details the events of the night when the something horrible takes place.
And then we have Part Three - the aftermath of the something horrible! While the background and setup for the story were very similar to the real haunt, what takes place in the third part of the book takes great imagination. It all came together beautifully as it played out in my mind's eye. The descriptions, while some of them gruesome, were stunning. I won't go into detail because I don't want to give anything away and steal anyone's enjoyment of reading it for themselves. But trust me on this.
In conclusion, my knowledge of the world opened up a little by reading this book. I have no plans at all to run out to an extreme haunted house! But I'm glad I am now aware that they exist. I enjoyed they interview style of the book and I loved the artistry in the details of the concluding events. I can't say it was a fun story for me to read, but I still couldn't put it down. Job well done, Mr. Booth! I give The Last Haunt 4 stars.
I received a review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. -
As someone who's already familiar with the guy and "haunt" this book was inspired by, this was a SUPER fun read. The Last Haunt is a documentary-style story told through interviews about the death of a haunt-goer at the McKinley Manor a year earlier, as well as a bit of insight into how the Manor came into being and what the consequences of the young woman's death were.
The Last Haunt is a very quick read that is PERFECT for the Halloween season, especially if you enjoy haunted houses. I've always loved haunted houses, but never been interested in "extreme haunts", and I'm definitely one of those people who can't help but question the motives compelling some of the minds behind those infamous places, so this little novella was right up my alley.
Between the unique storytelling format (with voices that actually felt distinct to each character, something not every author can accomplish), the absolute derangement of the mind behind McKinley Manor, and the suspenseful recounting of everything that went down, I really enjoyed The Last Haunt and I highly recommend picking up a copy. After loving this and We Need to Do Something, I'm landing solidly in the Max Booth III Fanclub and can't wait to read more of his work!
Thank you to the publisher for the review copy! All thoughts are honest and my own.

The Last Haunt by Max Booth III is a quick, intense, entertaining read specifically with Halloween Horror book junkies in mind. Perfect for readers who love to tour short, holiday-themed horror during the spooky season from some of their favorite authors.
The Last Haunt is told in a collection of police report interviews with people closest to a horrific event that occurred inside an extreme haunted house attraction. I'm glad this book exists for Halloween horror fans, I had a good time with it.
Based on a true story, you can watch the doc right now on Hulu
Monster Inside: America’s Most Extreme Haunted House
Russ McKamey is the creator of the world’s “most extreme haunted house” - McKamey Manor. He is also a manipulative abuser, according to three people who realize the horror is never over once you decide to enter the Manor.
*trigger on the doc, I tapped out almost immediately. The live footage was too much for me -
Told through a series of interviews, The Last Haunt tells the story of Gus McKinley - an extreme haunted house enthusiast and the lengths to which he will go to ensure an unforgettable haunted house experience. The story explores the horrific events that took place at his haunt that led up to the McKinley Manor massacre.
What drew me to this book was the interesting premise which made it seem like the perfect October/Halloween read. I am also a fan of Booth’s novella We Need to Do Something and was hoping for an equally weird and entertaining read. However, The Last Haunt, unfortunately, ended up being very disappointing.
While I do like the documentary style in which the story is told as it consists of interview transcripts, it became boring and repetitive very quickly. Throughout the entirety of the book, I felt like the characters were just repeating the same things and re-telling the same stories over and over again. Due to this, a simple 115-page novella ended up feeling so dragged out that it felt like a chore to finish reading.
It does have a weird ending which I was expecting from Booth, but rather than it being ambiguous in an interesting way, it felt rather silly and comedic. To me, the overall tone of the story felt all over the place. I would have preferred for it to either have a serious and dark tone or to fully commit to being a horror comedy, rather than having the tone constantly change throughout.
That said, even though I didn’t enjoy this book, I still appreciate getting the chance to read it and am still interested in reading more by the author.
Thank you to BookSirens for providing me with a free copy in exchange for my honest and voluntary review. -
I'm a massive Max Booth fan so was extremely excited to read this and devoured it in one sitting! I LOVED the format, there is just something about the mockumentary style that hits different with horror and nudges its toes into true crime fiction, I thought only getting insights into our main protagonist through the accounts of others added an extra layer of mystery, Max's prose is always captivating and has me in a chokehold, one cannot simply put a Booth book down, there is social commentry on the current generations obsession with the macabre/death and this novella could be taken as a warning to the direction society is taking
-
So this was my first Max Booth III and certainly not my last!! I don’t usually write a summary of the book in my reviews because you can read the back of the book lol I’m more of a “thoughts and feels” type of reviewer.This novella is perfect for your Halloween TBR (or anytime really because everyday is Halloween, if you ask me) 🎃
I liked the interview style writing and as I read, I pictured it all like a movie in my head. I love haunted houses, I love haunters, and I’m equal parts fascinated and curious about extreme haunts and shoot, Max even had me cringing a bit because I’m claustrophobic.
Thank you to cemetery gates media for the ARC 🖤🎃 -
Super readable with pops of humor that never undercut the horror elements. Booth delivers another banger.
-
Thoroughly Enjoyed!! I did not know how i would like the format as told by interviews but it was great. although I know what i will be thinking of next time in Walmart LOL
-
The previous GR release date was wrong! HAPPY RELEASE DAY!
Thanks so much to Joe at Cemetery Gates Media for a copy to review! This is my first experience with this author.
The Last Haunt details the beginnings and end of Gus McKinley's extreme, interactive haunted house experience, where there are minimal rules and touching those who are admitted - hurting them - is not only permitted but encouraged.
Told in a mockumentary, epistolary style after a dark event that ended both the attraction and its founder, the book has that kind of grim appeal true crime podcasts do. You know what happened, but how did it come to that? This built-in anticipation always gets me, whether it be a book, movie, podcast, whatever. This story delves into the locals' problems with the haunted house, the seedy incels and bullies that Gus McKinley hired, the dark fantasies he harbored, enacted, and encouraged in others. The end effect, his haunted house experience, is the murderous fantasies of super deep, dark web enthusiasts, made manifest, just short of snuff films and the like. This makes for a deeply unsettling read, so extreme horror fans should enjoy.
There is a lot of cursing and derogatory language in the interviews, told by rural southerners, many with grudges against Gus McKinley. Normally it wouldn't bother me, but it is repetitious, a surprising achievement in a novella - I just grew tired of the crass and crude language, especially towards women. A dead woman, at that.
The ending, however, I really enjoyed. It recaptured my interest with a twist that was extremely satisfying to read. The writing is good and descriptive, immersing you in the chilly story while still reading as organic - phrasing a person would really use in an interview. These aspects round it up to four stars for me. -
Have you ever been to an Extreme Haunted House? Me neither, but it’ll be my pleasure to guide you through it.
Gus McKinley’s dream was always to build a huge Haunted House in Texas, and this is about to happen, although I have the feeling myself this is not going to be as expected😏.
That night, that horrible Halloween night when everything fell apart and led out to the McKinley Manor Massacre.
Have you ever been beaten to death? Have you ever been forced to be waterboarding into a barrel? Have you ever been tied up unable to get loose? Have you ever felt physical and psychological torture?. Ok these are a few things you’ll experience there.
Here there’s no safeword, they don’t want to be like the others Haunted House 🏚️. They are unique and special.
This novella divided into three parts and written in an epistolary way like a documentary-style story leads you to the whole journey of Gus and his henchmen in the Manor until the fateful day came.
Let me say the third part blew me away, I didn’t expect that🫣. Maybe I’m too naive 😅.
I’ve never heard of this kind of Haunted House before in my whole life, and really made me shivers and ask myself why do people would like to be involved in this nightmare?.
Additional info: This is based on an actual extreme haunted house in Tennessee and there’s a documentary as well called “ Monster Inside: America's Most Extreme Haunted House” in Hulu. Which I haven’t seen but seems to be completely insane.
I thank you BookSirens @booksirens for giving me an advance review copy for free. -
Oof - what a gut punch! But the ending took me by surprise in the best way. I am only recently familiar with the real person this story is inspired by... and I watched a documentary on it the other day AFTER I realized this book's "connection" to familiarize myself with it some more. And wow. What an effed up situation! And the way Max Booth III tells this story as if I am just watching/reading a documentary was also really cool! He was able to give different voices to people throughout the book in a way that really did not give room for any fluff. It was straightforward, messed up, and scary as hell at times. And there were even a few heartbreaking moments around the middle or later that helped reach more emotions as a reader, thus pulling me deeper into this twisted story of perversion, ego, and narcissism. This is a great Halloween read! And just look at this incredible cover?! I would be absolutely petrified in real life... so you will only ever see me at a "haunt" where there is fog, some flashing lights, and doors that open and close by themselves. NEVER THIS!

“So do I think Trevor Henderson was telling the truth that night, about what happened at McKinley Manor? I don’t know, man—what the fuck do you think?”
Told through a series of interviews, the reader discovers the “truth” behind a deadly Haunted House.
I love these kinds of stories- told through transcripts, meetings with characters, etc. So the format worked for me.
Overall I was expecting a bit more from the author and the story. Either more spookiness or more brutality, or both. One of the villains of the story, Gus, sounds like a big bad, but never really seems to get there. Instead, the only death that occurs is deemed manslaughter.
If the story could amp up its intensity and scare factor then this would probably be a 5 ⭐️ star read for me instead.
Thank you to the author & BookSirens for a copy! -
Max Booth started off as a funny horror guy and then broke through into legit dramatic writing with novels like The Nightly Disease and We Need to do Something, only to integrate both talents of his on the unlikely, but masterful Maggots Screaming! last year.
This is somewhat of a back to basics publication for Booth, but a fun and legitimately hilarious one. Written as a oral history of an extreme haunted house narrated by cops, neighbours and various protagonists involved, it's by far not the scariest thing I've read, but I had some laugh out loud moments. Funny books often make me smile, but they don't crack me up in public transportation. This one did.
I think it's just the oral history that works so well. The quirks of intricacies of small town Texas are just so much fun when they're applied to something as over-the-top as a haunted house massacre. -
Another solid read by Max Booth III.
This one is a non-traditional narrative which I've found I usually enjoy and The Last Haunt was no exception.
I am a sucker for things like haunted houses and theme parks or carnivals. So, this one appealed to me right away. It doesn't hide the fact that it's based on a very real extreme haunt.
I watched a documentary on extreme haunts a few years ago and found some of it unsettling. So, I found beauty and poetic justice in the creative liberties taken here. The end was incredibly satisfying. -
Loved this one! Loved the interview style of writing! Loved that it is based on true events! A quick engaging read set in a small Texas town on Halloween. McKinley Manor an extreme haunt, in its attempts to become the most extreme haunt led to a fateful incident on Halloween night. From this night we hear interviews from participants, employees, neighbours and police reports in the lead up to, during and after this incident.
-
THE LAST HAUNT is the perfect appetizer to start your Halloween feast. There are ghouls aplenty, but not the kind you may expect. Max Booth PUSHES you into the world of Extreme Haunts- it's both timely and entertaining as hell. It's poisoned candy, but it sure tastes good on the way down.
-
Based on McKamey Manor and seemingly the recent documentaries about Gus, THE LAST HAUNT details the death and subsequent massacre of a participant and crew. I’m weak for books that come with a found footage vibe - in this case, it’s told through various interviews of those involved and their family, and it was fairly fast paced (with some repetitiveness) and had a good cast of characters. In theory, I should have loved this, and maybe I do, but there are a few things I’m grappled with.
Objective issue:
1. Outside of changing the name to ‘McKinley Manor,’ literally every single detail of this is taken from McKamey, and a bit more questionably (?) The recent documentaries about it. I’m all about bashing this place but some of it comes across a little disingenuous, so I’m still grappling with how to feel about it.
Writing Issues (*MILD SPOILERS*)
1. Betty Rocksteady. On one hand, I love how she represents the weirdos who have an unhinged obsession with McKamey Manor but I couldn’t get over the pointless sexualization of her character and her fetish towards the whole thing.
2. Andrew. You’re honestly telling me that you’re getting interviewed about the death of your ex-girlfriend and your obsession with the haunt and the thing you want to tell the interviewer is that your favorite thing about her is that she let you c*m on her face?
Both immediately dumbed down what could have been an otherwise solid book. Maybe I’m just getting tired of how the above are tied to indie and extreme horror, but come on. -
3.5 stars
This book proved to be an engaging and swift read that I effortlessly devoured in a single sitting. It is presented in the form of interview transcripts featuring individuals directly impacted by Gus, which inherently intrigued me. Each character was uniquely distinct and a pleasure to immerse myself in.
The story commenced with a compelling start, skillfully constructing an air of mystery. However, as the narrative steadily progressed, the continuous buildup left me somewhat dissatisfied with its eventual conclusion. The direction it took didn't quite align with my expectations.
I couldn't help but yearn for a more diverse array of media incorporated into the narrative. Such multimedia elements would have breathed life into the story, enriching its themes and conversations.
One particularly captivating aspect was the absence of Gus's direct voice, as we gleaned insights about him exclusively through the myriad perspectives and accounts of others.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. -
If you’re looking for a fictional horror story about an extreme haunted house experience, this is the novella for you. Especially if you’re familiar with Russ McKamey and his highly controversial survival horror Manor which this is inspired by.
The Last Haunt is told through a multitude of interviews that describe the history of an extreme haunted house attraction and the events that led to the tragic death of a young woman on Halloween night. With unhinged characters that enjoy inflicting pain, to groupies and survivors and others set on getting revenge, there’s a full cast of characters that really makes it feel like you’re watching a documentary.
This book was so entertaining and I flew right through it! I’m not the biggest fan of interview style formats but I thought this worked really well for getting the story across. I also really enjoyed the supernatural element included, it was unexpected, gross and perfect! This is only the second book I’ve read and loved by the author and look forward to checking out more. I highly recommend picking this up! -
Max Booth III's 'The Last Haunt' is true entertainment, written in mockumentary style (transcipts of interviews with the people involved in the story), an easy read I finished in one sitting. The very strong true crime vibes of the novella make for an absolutely convincing horror story about an extreme "haunted house attraction," patterned after a very well-known real one. The fictional one ends up in (multiple) death, and the series of interviews reveal, bit by bit, what has happened and why. There are some not-so-subtle hints dropped about responsibility, obsession, bad life choices, and what counts as truth; but it is essentially a horror story, full of suspense, mystery, and a superb twist in the ending I did not expect and won't spoil for others: just read it and enjoy an awesome story by a great author!

An absolute blast of a read. I enjoyed the epistolary style, felt like I was reading a documentary. As a satire of the McKamey Manor extreme haunted house it pulls no punches. If you're not familiar with McKamey Manor you'd still enjoy this. Loved also that he chose to use the names of other horror artists that he works with.
It's quick, it's fun, it's witty, it's a must read. -
Entertaining as all hell, and funny. Just look at all the quotes I highlighted!
The ending was a bit… well lackluster. It was fine though. At least it HAD an ending.
This novella was completely told in interview format. I thought it was well done. All of the voices were pretty unique, or at least unique enough to distinguish between them.
If you have Kindle Unlimited and a few hours time I’d recommend checking this out. -
This novella is written in a true crime/mockumentary style. The Last Haunt tells the story of the life and death of Gus Mckinley, a man whose love of horror and Halloween grew into an obsession with extreme haunt attractions, and the people whose lives were affected by McKinley Manor. Much like an extreme haunt that actually exists, you can enter Mckinley Manor for the mere cost of a bag of dog food. But can you get out?
Told from multiple points of view, as an oral interview by those who knew or worked for Gus, including his family, neighbors, and the brother of the young woman who died while trying to reach the end of Gus's haunt, gives the story a realistic feel. I loved the build-up and suspense as each piece of the interview came together for the final reveal, culminating in a horror that brought a clever and satisfying conclusion.
5 out of 5 stars
My thanks to Max Booth III for the review copy. -
Written in one of my favorite styles (interviewer perspective), this one definitely kept me guessing. I liked the hinting around and the writing was very good!
-
Let me tell you, and fangirl a little about this book. I am OBSESSED with the Halloween haunt community and it's drama. I do stuff every year, and go to all the cons, transworld, etc. So when I started reading this I was like….hmm… kinda sounds like someone I recognize. And then the the dog food and walmart part came up and I couldn't stop laughing. This book has a great take on building tension and horror, but also great satire. That is the best part of this book, something you would still understand and appreciate without knowing the situation it satires.
It's extremely well written, you feel just like a (viewer) witnesses all this insanity happen. It has a unique interview pattern, similar to 'FantasticLand,' which I adored. And there's only about one semi sane person in the entire conversation. It was spot on, and disturbing. It also has some legendary horror easter eggs, like references to Cannibal Holocaust. If you're really into the horror community you'll NEED to read this!
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. -
If you have any interest in the inner workings of extreme haunts-pick up this book now!
This story is told through a series of interviews following the aftermath of the tragic Mckinley Manor Massacre, an extreme haunted house attraction in a small town in Texas. Thats it, thats the story and really all that you need to know. This is a pretty straight forward story that I didn't know I needed in my life and I read it in one day.
Clocking in at 124 pages this is a perfect short read to add to your TBR especially during the Halloween season. In this story we get a first seat glimpse into the origins of an extreme haunt. The twisted mind of the creator behind Mckinley Manor and the cult following obsessed with the attraction and its lore. After reading the synopsis for this novella, it immediately reminded me of the famed Mackamey Manor a real extreme haunt in TN that has a cult following and sounds like an absolute nightmare.
Some of the Survivor-style obstacles that the patrons have to endure at Mckinley Manor are downright disgusting-or are they? Interview style stories can be a hit or miss for me, but it was very well done here and I felt it really contributed to the tension. Trust me once you start you will not want to finish, I could have easily devoured this in one sitting, but ya know-life. The ending is pretty shocking and took a turn I wasn't expecting. I can't say that I particularly liked it, but it did surprise me.
This book comes with my highest recommendation-I think its the perfect thrilling read balanced with a well developed plot. I feel like this novella would appeal to audiences that enjoy true crime. Happy Reading! -
A Horror Bookworm Recommendation
The Last Haunt by Max Booth III
https://horrorbookwormreviews.com/
Welcome to Pork Basket, Texas. A small community where Gus McKinley calls home. One Halloween he puts up a sign in his front yard that reads “McKinley Manor - Opening Soon”. A Boo Haunt that is family friendly and provides spooky entertainment. He soon graduates from Boo to an Extreme Haunt. This new-and-improved attraction becomes a menacing encounter to its participants, even to the point of unfortunate murder and justifiable revenge on those deserving.
Max Booth III applies his writing talents to extreme haunted houses in his newest Halloween offering entitled, The Last Haunt. All the sensory deprivations and physical assaults are written by means of interviews and statements. Those questioned include ex-wives, fathers, retired cops and hired haunt actors. Live feeds and viral videos are used to lay out a “found-footage” vibe that heavily amplifies this controversial subject. It’s more than a hobby, it’s a lifestyle.
Max Booth III is one of the most creative storytellers out there. His writing skills are always an intense experience of cinematic/theatrical physical and psychological experiences with a dash of supernatural. If you have ever set foot in a haunted house…I know you’re gonna dig this. You may have to sign a few disclaimers, contracts and waivers before you enter. But hey, he’s the best hands down, at unlocking those little evil curiosities that dwell within each and every one of us. Not to mention his love of the horror genre shines brightly like a ritualistic candle illuminating a chalked pentagram outline.
“Horror doesn’t care about logic. It doesn’t care about realism. It’s only job is to frighten you, and it will do whatever it takes to finish the job.” - Max Booth III
Remember these words of wisdom as you enter this reality TV of gore…gag reflexes need not apply. A Five Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Horror Bookworm Recommendation. -
If you’re familiar with horror, chances are you’re familiar with a certain infamous “haunted house” that claims to offer a large cash prize for anyone who can survive the experience without breaking certain rules. You’re also familiar, I suspect, with the reality that this is not a haunted house by any stretch of the imagination, but rather a torture porn extravaganza during which the participants are beaten, battered, bruised, and otherwise abused.
This is precisely the sort of environment at the core of Max Booth III’s THE LAST HAUNT.
Related in a pseudo-epistolary method, the story is revealed through interviews with people close to the events that took place.
A young boy fixated on horror and the discomfort of others, grows into a man who takes that obsession and runs with it, transforming his own property into a grueling boot camp designed for the purpose of torturing and horrifying anyone foolish enough to sign the daunting contract required for admission.
When everything goes wrong one Halloween night, that barrage of cruelty leads to the death of a participant…an event that ultimately leads to far more death and a revenge that’s either supernatural or the product of a severely damaged psyche and a feverish imagination—that’s up to you to decide.
Readers are likely to recognize some familiar names throughout the novella, particularly those who are fans of indie horror. -
The Last Haunt introduces us to McKinley Manor, an extreme haunted house, and the horrific events that closed it down forever through a series of written interviews with people associated with Gus McKinley and his haunted house in the town of Pork Basket.
I’m a huge fan of interview style books and The Last Haunt is written to be just that: an almost true crime‘esque written documentary that tries to uncover what happened during the McKinley Manor massacre on Halloween night. It’s hugely entertaining, eerie and the characters feel fully fleshed out — you’ve got a lot of down to earth characters that you can fully imagine being interviewed for a real documentary and just like real life, you can never really be sure who’s telling the truth.
This novella is also obviously a huge nod towards the very real “extreme haunted house” of a similar name and a critique on the loose definition of the ‘haunted’ part when it’s mostly just unsupervised torture.
The Last Haunt was a lot of fun to read and a breeze to get through. It’s definitely a perfect October read — not too scary, but definitely full of suspense and unhinged moments with a lot of recognisable names from the horror community.
