Alessa's Melody: A Psychological Gothic Horror Novella by Jayson Robert Ducharme
4.0
A solid horror novella about grief, regret, growing old and relationships.
It follows the life of a guy who had a terrible, abusive childhood after his younger sister does from an accidental drowning. He goes through life with that regret and once he is in his 70's he believes he is in contact when his young sister again through reincarnation. Maybe he can make it up to her and get solace.
I thought this was pretty good and successfully tells a full story in a short number of pages. I flew through it pretty quickly and was actually tickled at the fact reincarnation was brought up since I've been recently reading more books on the topic. The main character is a tragic one so the ending was getting imo.
Again, this was pretty good. Reminded me of a Tales from the Crypt episode. I was entertained.
