There's quite a range of reviews already for ASHES. I think that, as with many books, the enjoyment is determined as much by the reader's expectations as by the book itself.These ghost stories are not scary, for the most part. They're atmospheric, thoughtful...someone else's review called them "contemplative," and I like that description a lot. Anyone looking for a "horror" book will be disappointed. Anyone looking for something more nuanced and better written than most horror shorts, subtler, with a distinct sense of place (Appalachia) should find that ASHES fits the bill quite nicely.I very much enjoyed reading ASHES and thank the author for making it available to Kindle users!
