Tyler's Bones

by Mary Hallberg

All that’s left of Tyler is his bones. So what’s making those noises?

Violet’s brother, Tyler, went missing five years ago and his body has finally been found. His home funeral is tomorrow, and their parents are in the city giving interviews about his untimely death. Violet insisted she would be fine alone with his body.


But flickering lights, mysterious phone messages and large objects falling over are making her think twice about that. The raging snowstorm keeps her trapped indoors, and it’s not long before she can’t pretend all the strange occurrences are the result of an overactive imagination.


Is Tyler trying to communicate with Violet from beyond the grave? And if so…what could he possibly want to tell her?

Supernatural horror fans will enjoy this tense novella that explores facing our fears and saying goodbye to someone we love.

Amazing

Twisted I didn't see amazing plot and great characters good for a short read around Halloween or when yoh are feeling spooky

[Catriona Mowat · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought this was a really engaging and hard hitting short novella. It was a little rushed in places and could have benefitted from a bit more development, but it was a good overall read. I rated 3.5 stars but have rounded up because it was entertaining

Great story

I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read, but it had the feel of a longer one. Spooky and would have made a good Tales from the Crypt episode.

Great and engaging novella! I wanted to choke Violet for being so dumb around her ex at times, but hey…I enjoyed the quick ride! Lol

Very predictable and the writing just seemed a bit immature.

This was a weird little twisted book. Cute little ghost story that was fun to read.
