The Church Haunting is a short horror story centred around a church in a small American wannabe ghost-town. The superb descriptions conjure up a feeling of desolation and eeriness which are then borne out by the plot (which I don't want to spoil).Two things that I particularly liked:1. There were enough twists and turns to keep me interested and I appreciated the way in which all the characters were interwoven.2. There was no reliance on that awful one-two-three device favoured by Hollywood horror writers (the first 'bump' scares you and turns out to be nothing, the second 'bump' really frightens you but ends up being harmless and the third 'bump' is the one that gets you).I'd definitely recommend this and would choose to read more of the author's books.
