Quite an entertaining surprise!

I picked up this novella just because it was a new/unknown author to me and the subject was inticing. I'm glad I read it because I think Mr. Mulligan may have a promising future as a writer if he just acquires a proofreader.
It started out quickly, as is important in a short story and got right to the heart of the tale but it was a bit confusing as to whether it was a horror story or a mystery. Once it was clearly both, I settled in to decide who-dun-it!
Cute short story by an author who has some potential!

This had me hooked from the description and cover and was so glad I got to read this. The plot had that feel that I was looking for and enjoyed the overall feel of this, it was a strong start to the Strange Hauntings series. It was everything that I wanted and was glad the characters had that feel that I was looking for. I’m excited for more in this series and from Owen Mulligan.

This is a haunting tale of a family that recently lost a loved one and strange things start occurring. I enjoyed this short story. It is the right book to read during October. It is the first book in the series, and I cannot wait for the next book to read.

A bunch of scary and haunting stories. All have scary aspects but some are more scary than others. Fun to read in the dark and late at night.

I liked this paranormal short story. I revolves around a mix up at a crematorium and righting a wrong carried out against a little girl.
