Another formidable work, written in a classic style. The topic of familial loss, here wife and child, and ``ghosts´´ is given good words and well-written dialogue lines.
``Well, ladies & gentlemen, here we read a story of another person possessed by the ghost of Agatha Christie, who tries to score some more bestsellers on murder & getting away with it.´´
A very straight-to-the-point person of someone, who chose to be homicidal. I liked the flow, and the ending was fine as well.
An exercise Agatha Christie would smile at! The little story about a murder-suspect & Lottie includes a good writing flow, dialogue giving personality to the characters, and insights into ``the mind of a murderer´´.
A good, small poem on the nature of crime (in this case, home invasion).
The Soul Of The Sea Witch is like a journey back in time. A bit overshadowed by the pain & loss wars always include, yet the story steers for a happy ending!
``He neither fully believed, nor disbelieved what she said, but he always listened and tried not to sound confrontational when he asked her questions. ´´ - Quoting the author (and adding isn't that the basis for any relationship?)
A soldier and his loving woman (later wife) face the reality, within which both only prevail by doing what is necessary and whatever ``luck´´ makes some people survive, while others die without a chance.
I am no expert on drag queens, but the notion came as no surprise, because I know (some) of the energetic odds SHIFTING, when a ``Schutz-Transe aka Guardian Transexual´´ voluntarily joins on a real occult venture (excluding sex & drugs, as that lethal danger part is true).
The writing style of the story is fluid and format & grammar are good as well.
Personal note to the author: ``It's what you get, when you message me about a detective sequel, but forget to mention the TITLE, so I had to delve thru your extensive list of formidable works!´´ ;-)
A true classic, and closer to a masterpiece than I will ever get myself.
``WHEN YOU NEED HELP THAT NO ONE ELSE CAN PROVIDE, RIDE THE WAVES OF THE PSYCHIC TIDE!´´ - Quote from the story.
Knowing the time before Blair Witches and faked-found-footage: A solid story on the clashing of the rational approach, as police and private investigators work it, and the Intuitive approach of the often deceptive, or outright fraudulent, psychics!
A long story as well, with zero flaws on grammar or format. Thanks for sharing!
A poem on a less symbolic form of betrayal.
Happy that I did not stumble into another copycat of ``The Midnight Meat Train´´, a horror movie unable to deliver true Lovecraftian horror, this story was authentic horror and also showed-off a comediant streak.
``MacAdams did a weekly self defence course that equally mixed military unarmed combat. back alley dirty fighting and Three Stooges mayhem.´´
The fun of ``Ha, Ha! I am not that easily undone, dear Satanists´´ is humbled by the final. That is a good sign for concept of a story, and it comes in both, homage of the horror classics AND fitting the stand-alone story.
JPYoung is an author, who does not make the mistakes of dishing us ill-formatted texts, nor prone to severe mistakes wrecking the grammar. Inspiring!
