Okay, not so sure about how you review a 20 page prequel to a series of books, but here goes.First off, in order to read a horror, occult story like this, you sort of have to have a strong stomach, or believe in the occult or that things occult could happen. And this does not say that there was anything to upset any stomach's of readers in these 20 pages. There was not. It is just some do not believe in the occult. While I personally do not practice any type of occult ritual, I know some do. So, do I believe in it??? I do believe these practices exist. I also believe that any time you open up a door to evil, you can rarely be sure of what will happen.This is a great story, although a very short read. It is well written, well thought out, and well put together. The storyline is very believable. And yes, the horror is also believable.Steve and Jane Laurence were aware that the previous owner of their home had come to a rather violent end. But, the couple had no knowledge of the dark forces and the brutal acts of violence that had finally driven him to the edge of sanity. They moved into his former residence with the thoughts of living a quiet life in the suburbs.Sadly, things did not go quite as planned. Jane began to experience some strange and deeply unsettling things. Soon it became clear that she and her husband had unknowingly walked into what would become a desperate struggle for their lives and their very souls.The characters in this story are believable. I have to say I especially like Steve. What he attempted to do, he tried because he was trying to save Jane. In so doing, he lost his own life.That, my dear friends, is love.I do recommend this book. There is no blood and gore. There is also no sex scenes, so rest easy.If you like horror and occult, I think you will like this story.
