Excerpt:


Ghost Story

At first glance, the spacious room appeared to be empty. What had once been a bed was now nothing more than a crooked headboard and planks of wood. A trickle of light seeped through the moth-eaten blinds of the window, and Jessica found herself standing in a pool of moonlight. A musty, old paperback smell filled her nostrils. Shadows draped across the room, deepening in one corner over an old, decaying chair. That particular black shadow shifted suddenly, and a surprised squeak escaped Jessica.
            She froze inside the threshold of the room, staring helplessly at the ghostly figure in the corner. It was him. Her mind registered this with a certain degree of calm acceptance, but her body remained glued to the spot with terror. And when the being beckoned her, she was only able to vaguely shake her head.
             It came to her instead.

  2. Thanks for bringing my attention to this book. Perhaps short stories would be a good way for me to dip my toe into paranormal.
