Ruby Hill by Sarah BallanceRuby Hill. "In a hundred years of operation, tens of thousands of residents called the asylum home. Most never left alive. Hundreds, dumped anonymously in unmarked graves never left at all."Corbin Malone is on assignment as a cop at Ruby Hill because there have been two recent murders in the long closed building. The press is calling it ghosts. "The media grabbed the story like rabid dogs, shredding and tearing the meat of the so-called facts until nothing was left but gristle and hyped-up gore." Ashely Pearce is part of an assigned paranormal team set up to debunk the myth of a ghost murdering people.Corbin and Ashley had a history together that fell apart when his brother died. Now they have to work together to solve the mystery in the asylum.Terrifying. Intense. Brilliant descriptive writing as quoted above. This short story grabbed me and had me turning on extra lights and turning on some music just for company. I hope I don't have nightmares tonight!I received a copy of this novella from the publisher.
