The Sparrow is a story about Jasper and Ben. This horror book begins with the two men living in a Funeral Home. As they go about their day to day life duties, dealing with the deceased, a drifter shows up looking for a job. They hire him as a gravedigger and that is when things begin to change and the story takes a turn.


The story was short and a fast read. Due to this nature, it did not leave the reader much time to bond, reminisce, ponder, drive or dwell into it as deep as you would with a full novel. I believe the storyline had potential in being much more. The pace was steady and the literature was easy to understand.



I believe the story would benefit those who like to read a book in one sitting. Horror book fans would also like to read this story.
