"Fyvie is known for its legends..., and its specters. Mostly those still stirring through the castle's endless corridors."Jacqueline, a young historian heading a massive restoration of Fyvie Castle, immerses herself in Scottish lore when she has a personal paranormal experience at the location. Fyvie Castle has a soiled history and Jacqueline wants to learn its secrets."Banshee's Cry" is another solid Mark Parker ditty. Rich and atmospheric, a consistent theme in the handful of tales of his that I've had the opportunity to read, he gets a lot accomplished in a short page count.Another of Mr. Parker's strengths is a solid, believable dramatis personae. This tale plays out with interesting characters and ideas that never feel like plot devices, filler or cast aways. And as the last page flips closed I am left hungry for more. I'd love to see what Mr. Parker can do with a full length piece. When that day comes, count me in.Check it out.
