This and more reviews available at The Book Bar.coRating: ChaserThis is my first review of a short (incredibly so) story. I knew it was only a couple pages but the premise seemed so intriguing. Ungureanu's depiction of a man haunted by demons is graphic. You could feel the disgusting circumstances he was faced with."You want the key, don't you? I have precious things in that room, you know?... That room was my husband's, you know? He is watching over me from the other side, I tell you. He spit out his liver in that room, you know? He suffered months before he went away. I don't want to bother him with intruders."  - Ungureanu, Petronela. eCopy. Provided by the author.Unfortunately, I had to reread sentences to understand where and when the recount was taking place. We seemed to jump around in time and location.The grammatical errors aside, it was still and interesting tale. Perhaps something for around the campfire or to scare the living daylights out of kids at a sleepover. Maybe if Ungureanu could add three or four more tales, a compilation of life affirming accounts, the purchase would be justifiable. Something for the bookshelf.I walked my friends out to the front gate, followed by the dog that seemed in better spirits. When I returned and opened the door or my room, I was hit in the face by the same horrible stench from last night, as if it has waited for me to return and show me that it has not forsaken me.  - Ungureanu, Petronela. eCopy.
