"I'd like to say that he was the only problem I encountered. I'd like to say that he was the only ghost, even the last ghost...

...but he was just the first." Well-written classic ghost story focusing less on gore and more on setting a proper eerie mood which I really enjoyed. Passages like "From the frame's hook dripped a single drop of blood...Turning back to the drop, I noticed that it slowly trickled down the wall as if it were some sort of falling tear" was all I needed to get engrossed in the story. Great twist at the close and not going to say more but give it a read for a haunting good time!

I don't normally like horror...

But this had a good feel of an old ghost story. I enjoyed it and the author's writing style is very smooth. I easily was sucked into the story.

Good ghost story, one very serious twist. All details come together. Still waiting on the new Nowak Brothers book from the same author.

Filled with an intense atmosphere which draws the reader in

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 9, 2015

"The Last Ghost" is a horror story narrated by a man setting his mother's estate to order. This is a tale that slowly builds with each paragraph, intent on creating a chilling atmosphere

Since, as the title might suggest, "The Last Ghost" is a ghost story, the narrative adopts a Victorian tone to emulate the golden age of ghost stories. This voice is well-executed for the most part and helps immerse the reader into the narrator's tale. There were some evocative descriptions, such as the narrator describing "my mother, but not as a young girl, but older, in the winter of her middle age" and "in that sound I saw rot, not the fetid diseased rot of plague, but the dry, gnawing rot of inevitable decay, the dust of a million men reduced to nothing."

While there were multiple ghosts introduced throughout the course of the story, Liggio did well balancing their presence with one another so it did not feel like one was overly dominating or, conversely, was not described enough. The narrator's terror grows with the appearance of each new ghost, and the tension builds as the horror elements continue to slowly creep in. The ticking of the clock, "I'm sorry," the drip of blood: all of it ties together into an intense atmosphere.

The ending is where "The Last Ghost" struggles. As I found myself drawn into the atmosphere Liggio built in the home, I wanted to know what the ghosts meant by their silent reproach, their counting, and their pointing. And Liggio delivers, spelling out exactly what each ghost's actions and words signify. But though this ending answers all of the reader's questions, it is unsatisfying. The true power of horror is what is left up to the imagination, and Liggio leaves little questions unanswered, thus stripping away the terrors the reader might have imagined. Finally, some additional editing might have served the story well to eliminate a few redundancies and tighten up the writing, but overall, the story seemed to have been well-edited and I only found one typographical error.

Though the ending falls a little flat, "The Last Ghost" is still an enjoyable read, and one which I would recommend.
