A New & Unique Twist on the Occult

A lovely ,yet dark little story read by a wonderful reader, the author, Tony Walker. I must admit, I was yelling at the main character throughout, saying, “Don’t believe them, Don’t go in there!” But he was a very sheltered young man and not worldly-wise at all. Still, you’d think that all his reading would have taught him a thing or two about trust. Whatever, this was a very interesting read.

Gothic like Victoria Holt

Enjoyed this gothic tale and narration immensely. Reminded me of the novels I grew up reading by Victoria Holt (Eleanor Hibbert) and Daphne du Maurier. Author knows how to build tension and helps one see the environment. Loved his accents and character differentiation. Worth the credit.
