"Algoma Ghost: The Legend of Hell's Bridge" is a dark, suspenseful novella set in Rockford, Michigan. The horror story begins with a trusted town elder, Elias Friske, and ends with paranormal investigator Birgil Doxey unraveling the mysterious behind the "Algoma Ghost." This short, sharply written story kept me guessing until the very last sentence!
