This is a classic horror, spooky, and easily read. A short story, set about thirty years ago in the author’s country of Romania. It’s written in the first person, and in a male voice. You can tell this isn’t a native English speaker. Romania is a land famous for its horror stories of ghosts and vampires, so this story fits well to the voice.The main character finds lodging closer to his work, only to discover it’s a very spooky place, and yet he tries to reason away the weird happenings. We hear his thoughts in almost a diary style so that despite this story being horror/supernatural we feel for the man in such horrible circumstances.Suddenly, just as he’s considering leaving and finding a new place to live, the story ends, in true horror style.If you like a quick read that has a chilling ending, especially since it’s based on a true story, then this is for you. Five stars for originality, and for the very believable Romanian male voice.
