Jeff Menapace set the bar very high with his marvelous paranormal horror thriller "Sugar Daddy," but he's followed that success with several other stories that are equally imaginative. Some of his stories involve supernatural or paranormal horror, while others are about the horrors that humans are capable of inflicting on others. "Jeremy's Loss" is one of the latter. When a mysterious figure named Fallon informs a grieving Jeremy that his mother's death in a car accident was no accident, but that she was murdered, it starts a chain of events where Jeremy and his newfound ally Fallon are bent on revenge and their own self-preservation. The story proceeds along at a brisk pace, leading to a dramatic climax, followed by a startling revelation. To say any more about the story would be a spoiler, but suffice to say that things are not always as they appear to be."Jeremy's Loss" was a taut, suspenseful thriller that hooked me in the first paragraph and never let go.
