Chasing Spirits by Glynn James is a captivating story, a mystery really.  A man in an old folk's home (Reg) reflects upon his extraordinary life, starting with being young and homeless  in pre-war England.  He somehow catches glimpses of a strange, disturbing, supernatural side of life.  He experiences spooky events in his life repeatedly, and they shape him, especially the day his newly wed wife disappears without a trace from right behind him.  He spends his life trying to find her and make sense of things that he has seen and experienced.The writing is clear, easy to read.  The author beautifully captures Reg's emotion and pulls the reader completely into the mystery - what happened to his wife?  What are these strange glimpses of another reality that our hero experiences?  Is he crazy or is there some rational explanation?  I loved this story.  The ending was satisfying.If you were left wanting to read more, try Diary of the Displaced.  It is a completely different story, but with the same supernatural, spooky elements.  There are some overlapping characters.  I hope the author will write more.
