Melanie hates her job at the auctioneers. Hates her bosses, hates the atmosphere there and hates herself a little more every day she works for a company in whose wrongdoing she is complicit.

Whatever shadows she encounters at work, however, they are nothing compared to those on her road - Charnel Close.

One night, she finds she can no longer deny the presence of these forces at night that seem to watch her, know all about her. But will she escape? Or will they make a decisive move to stop her?

Far to short...This needed to be so much longer to make an impact.
The story was good...maybe a little confusing sometimes and I found myself re-reading some sentences and bits over again.
It could have been so much better if only more time and effort had been taken over writing it.

3 ⭐⭐⭐'s for making the effort anyway!!

“The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.” - ​Atiśa

Maybeee it’s just me, but i think this would make a good full length book! It felt too short, a little confusing even, to be only 21 pages long. If it was longer, we’d get more backstory in and the ending would be more dramatic. Evidently it was obvious he ‘boo’ was going to be demonic. If it was a longer story, i feel it would be more impactful. Nonetheless, good concept!
