Review: Great Ghost Story
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 31, 2013
Alle Greene is on a very odd first date. Her coworker James has taken her to an abandoned mental hospital to search for paranormal activity. The problem is that James has disappeared, leaving Alle alone in the darkness.This is a fun and spooky short story. There are a few creepy moments that really caught my attention. I would have enjoyed more of them, but I'm not sure much could have been added with the story being so short. A ghost is attacking poor Alle, and her terror is quite real. I felt her fear with every step as she tried to escape from the darkness, making a gruesome discovery along the way.It ends with an "uh-oh" moment, which I enjoyed. There was room for the author to expand upon it, but it wasn't necessary. I knew what was about to happen, and it was a fitting end. The level of creepiness was kept up until the very last word, making this a perfect Halloween read.The only thing holding me back from a full five star rating is the writing itself. This story is in dire need of a proofread. With the numerous errors corrected, this story is sure to be a hit.
