“A ghost story, but not the conventional sort.”

This book is dark, but the author’s afterword also shows how important it is.

I’ve been burned by a lot of small-publication and self-published horror lately so I was skeptical coming into this book. However, it far exceeded my expectations. This one is a heartbreaker too. We don’t get a happy ending, but we know that from the start. It’s all about the journey.
