5.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected. . . August 9, 2012

By Eric S. Brown

Format:Kindle Edition

I usually hate ghost stuff but I got to say this book was so well written I was left wishing I could write like this author does. He manages to snag you by your emotions and drag you kicking and screaming into his southern world of terror and dread. Hat's off to you sir. This tale rocks hardcore.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible read September 4, 2012

I'm not going to summarize the story for you. Let's get that out of the way up front. Get the sample if you aren't sure if you'll like it. I have a sneaking suspicion you'll end up downloading a copy, however.

It's a ghost story and a mystery, I'll say only that much about it, and Bryan Hall's telling of this story is incredible. At points you can almost smell the pines described, or even see the ghosts waiting in the shadows. Just enough creepy to keep you up and reading at night. I started the story at 3:30am and finished it by 7:30am. It's a wonderful page turner and not to be missed!

5.0 out of 5 stars Refreshing Supernatural story August 6, 2012

By Evan

Format:Kindle Edition

I have an endless need for supernatural books and it's always a nice treat finding something that brings me new life within this genre.

Bryan Hall wrote a story that captured my imagination and gave me a new type of character to root for. It's good to see talented authors tackle a tried and true mythos and shake the dust off of it.

I am looking forward to the next offerings in this series.

More About the Author

Bryan Hall is a fiction writer living in a one hundred year old farmhouse deep in the mountains of North Carolina with his wife and three children.

He spent the first nineteen years of his life writing and reading voraciously, until pausing for some befuddling reason to spend a decade drinking whiskey and beer, playing in various garage bands, and rock climbing, eventually conquering practically every worthwhile cliff in western North Carolina.

Although a bad back has greatly hindered his rock climbing, he still considers himself an aficionado of good beer and great whiskey, which seem to add fuel to his demented imagination.

Growing up in the Appalachias, he's soaked up decades of fact and fiction from the area, bits and pieces of which usually weave their way into his writing whether he realizes it at the time or not.

Several of his stories can be found in print magazines, online e-zines, and in upcoming anthologies. The short story collection "WHISPERS FROM THE DARK" gathers together 14 of the best shorts he's published to date. His first novel, CONTAINMENT ROOM SEVEN, is now available from Permuted Press. In August 2012 the first novella in his "SOUTHERN HAUNTINGS SAGA" will be released by Angelic Knight Press. You can visit him online at www.bryanhallfiction.com
