'Shattered' by C.S. Kane is another new story and new author from Dark Fuse Publications. I have really been impressed with the quality of the authors and the writings that have been coming out of DF. 'Shattered' adds to that list.This is a good old haunted house story that satisfies. It doesnt try to break new ground or be overly clever. It just has one goal, set up some interesting characters you care about, and get them in a situation that scares them and the reader as well. Kane succeeds in this goal.This is a 90 page novella so I do not want to ruin it by giving away spoilers, and besides that would take away the enjoyment of reading the story and experiencing it. The plot involves a young couple Stacey and Liam who movie into an old building when an opportunity arises. The building is close to his new job and her school. It is not the newest or nicest of places but it fits their needs and budget, Well, needless to say that things quickly become apparent that there is more going on in the building than they expected.The story moves along at a good pace, the characters are well done and the novella delivers in the solid 'haunted house' tale that you expect.Looking forward to more work by Kane.
