'The Mourning House' tells its short tale of a man who lost his family and himself at the same time. After the death of his wife and child, he uproots and travels around with no particular place to go, just the need to keep moving.He happens upon a broken down house in a small town and for some reason it calls to him, and he buys it and begins to  do repairs on it. Soon after moving in, it becomes very apparent that the house is more than it seems.The characters are well done, and the story telling is fast paced without being rushed. A very good haunted house story done right. Some might not like the way the story ends. At first it feels rushed or unresolved, but when you sit back and take it in, it works quite well.Ronald Malfi is a good writer. His novel 'Floating Staircase' is a great mix of horror and mystery. He takes that same talent and applies it very well to this shorter tale 'The Mourning House'.
