The Raindancers is another stunning novella from Greg F Gifune, again the author creates a wonderful foreboding tension and a creepy atmosphere that craves your complete attention.Married couple Will & Betty return to her father’s house after his death to settle his affairs and ready the house to be sold. Amidst the heavy rain, an old man arrives to offer his condolences, claiming to be an old family friend, Betty is charmed by his tales of her father and herself as a young girl. However Betty just doesn’t remember Bob Laurent and Will is immediately mistrustful of a man who appears to be way too friendly and familiar. When the old man starts to get inside Will’s head, taking seemingly innocuous liberties, something has to give, dark and deadly secrets are forthcoming and this soon turns into a chilling night for Will & Betty.Bob Laurent is the perfect antagonist, seemingly harmless, yet at the same time unnerving and the moment he reveals his true nature, after all your suspicions is masterfully told and a touch disturbing.This story begs to be read in one sitting, my advice, buy this, settle down for a couple of hours and read some of the finest dark fiction around. Highly recommended, just reading through the synopsis again a few weeks after finishing the story stirs my emotions.I’ve only read 3 stories from Greg F Gifune but already I have acquired 7 more and am really looking forward to reading the next one.
