About the author

Kenny Wayne

13 books
Kenny Wayne is a veteran, a husband, and the father of three—one son and twin daughters. He lives in Mississippi with his wife, where Southern nights, childhood memories, and the mysteries found in quiet places fuel his imagination.

As a writer, Kenny refuses to confine his stories to a single lane. His imagination wanders—sometimes into the shadows, sometimes toward a gentler, romantic glow—and he follows it wherever it leads. This journey has taken him through ghostly mysteries, heartfelt coming-of-age stories, young adult romance, and speculative fiction with unexpected twists.

Whether he’s exploring the supernatural or capturing the humor and warmth of Southern life, Kenny’s work is rooted in heart, curiosity, and the belief that the best stories are the ones that surprise you… even as they stay with you.

A Suspenseful Surprise

The stories in this book are all very good ghost stories. One of the stories is hilarious.

There are recurring characters in this book. Harley and his ghost seeing brother, James. They appear in two different stories.

And George, the security guard, or watchman, appears in several stories. The last story is an “epic” compared to the others.

But in all honesty they are all very good stories.

This is a different type of ghost story. Story unfolds quietly, though the reader has some suspension hint as to probable outcome. I wish story had a more clear and complete ending. Still a good read.

Kenny Wayne doesn’t just go down the horror road; there’s wit, warmth, and moments that surprised me. The stories range from spooky suspense to laugh-out-loud paranormal fun (The Hearse Drivers is a standout). Even when the plot feels quiet and contemplative, you feel the weight of the supernatural it’s playing with.
