Excerpt
Master of the Hill- It's that old great house on the hill, old and broken down. Sally needed a room to rent; it was desperate, desperate as hell. Where else was she to go? No matter, it would only cost a little.
House of Mystery- There it was, ominously peering from behind the bushes, no neighbour in sight. It looked magnificent...yet dark...and gloomy...it sent shivers up his spine. His hand nervously twisted the doorknob, mirked with dust. The large oak door creaked eerily. He was nervous, but carved his way through, when that revolting smell hit him, purging up the strong lurk of vomit, which came splashing, spewting before him. He held on to the door as he wiped smear from his mouth. No one had lived here for over fifty years.

Two Tales of Mystery
A family inherits a distraught ghost girl and a magnificent surprise. A woman lives quietly with her son...and an amorous spirit. A pair of short stories combine to create a delightful mystery novella with two seriously twisted endings. These mysteries intrigue readers while being both creepy and disturbing. The families in the tales are real, living people undergoing terrifying experiences.
Exquisite visual description carries the reader through every aspect of the characters' lives. Each feature and trait is lovingly detailed. Through everything, the characters support each other as loving families, enabling them all to reach the dazzling happy endings.
The book offers a pleasant British country flavour, combined with a deep seated love of family. Warm and caring, these two delightful stories are simultaneously shadowed and uplifting, haunting and joyous.
