Feast on love, horror, murder and apparition..., September 5, 2007
This review is from: Shadows in the Heart (Paperback)
"SHADOWS IN THE HEART is a Jewel of the Quill Anthology by Whiskey Creek Press authors. Being a Halloween collection, the stories are ghastly, now and then crimson stained, time and again ghost seeping. "The Unvanished Hitchhiker" by Margaret L. Carter opens the suspense. In Christine DeSmet's "When The Dead People Brought A Dish-To-Pass" a whole saga unfolds. In Carrie S. Masek's "Trick or Treat", a Halloween witch makes Derrick and his little sister bipolar. Together they make one mean match for the Middle School bullies. On the date of murdered wife Cathy's birth remembrance, Judge Jake Reynolds moons alone before court in "Ghost of a Chance" by Karen Woods. As C.J. Winters contributes her bones in "White Elephants", Amy in Karen Wiesner's "Papa" turns into one hell of a nightmare. The collection culminates neatly with "The Beast" by Jane Toombs, perhaps my favorite of the collection. Anyone keen on a counterbalance of love, horror, murder and apparition will have a feast on SHADOWS IN THE HEART which in turn stirs a keenness to read more of the Jewel of the Quill collections available from the publisher." ~TCM Reviews http://tcm-ca.com/reviews/1736.html
