I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
I enjoyed this short story by West. The narration was brilliant, and the plot was original and oh so spooky. After reading this, I will never view roses in the same light again. Can't wait to read more from this talented author.

I received this book for free for a honest review.  I loved the characters and storyline.  it flowed very well and held together.  To me this was more of a suspense than horror but still really good. The narrator did an excellent job of bringing the characters to life.  reccomend

This was an interesting little creepy story. Had a voodoo vibe that really worked well for the story. I really enjoyed the story line as it was quite unique and keeps you on your toes the whole time. Glad I don't buy my wife roses, yet alone from guys on the side of the road. Andrew Stuart did a great job with the narration. I really enjoyed his accent for the rose man.

This subtle psychological thriller begins with a deceptively innocent event, buying a rose on impulse, for his sweetheart. This one tiny decision changes his life forever. Move over Edgar Allen Poe and make room for another classic great American horror writer, Terry M. West.

Terry M. West at his best!

Ever wonder what happened to the ancient Druidic gods? The creatures of the woods, the land, flora and fauna? West spins a tale of the Rose Man here for us that will answer those questions, in a way so dark And Sinister that you May regret asking the question. I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator or publisher

A great mix of ancient Druidic gods and modern times

This is an awesome short story and I am glad Terry decided to bring this story to us, it was one of his very first fiction tales he wrote back in 1987...I guess the jist of this story is don't steal roses if you want to live and keep your mouth shut...I am glad I have discovered Terry M. West...I highly recommend his stories.
