"Last Dance of a Black Widow" is a short quasi-ghost/horror story by author Bradley Convissar. This is a Kindle e-book available through amazon.com that is a 93 Kb download and was free at the time of writing this review.SPOILERSAbbey Whistler has just died...she realizes this when she looks back and sees her corpse lying in the bed. The pain she just endured in her final cancer filled days will be nothing to the pain she's about to experience...painful memories leading to even more painful consequences. The last dance, mentioned in the title, is her final moment of joy that heralds the beginning of Abbey's remaining few seconds in our world.END SPOILERSConvissar uses a concise and detailed writing style that seem to fit perfectly for the telling of this unique little work. This well written, short ghost story starts out relatively benignly...I had the distinct feeling that this might have been a tale of fond memories and treasured recollections. However, such was not the case...gradually, very gradually the story becomes more and more strange, eventually taking on an air of the macabre as Abbey's past is slowly disclosed.Conclusion:A unique tale relating an altogether unique situation.A very enjoyable read that takes all of 10 to 15 minutes to peruse.As it is...5 StarsRay Nicholson
