Jessica Backman is a self-professed ghost hunter who also
does what she can to send them on their way to where they
should have gone to begin with. She really is fascinated by
the work she does and is thrilled to be contacted by a
caretaker of the local cemetery regarding something very
strange that seems to happen nightly in a certain area of
the cemetery. The first night that she investigates the
phenomenon, she takes along her friend, Angela. However,
when the ghost makes its appearance, Angela faints dead away
and refuses to go back again.
Jessica finds this to be a rather different sort of haunting
because of the way the ghost appears at one certain grave
and the accompanying other worldly scream that emanates from
the grave below it. She's never seen anything quite like it
and is immediately hooked with finding out more. It becomes
her only focus as she digs deeper into the history of the
person buried in the grave. By the time she figures it all
out, it becomes apparent that she's enraged the odd ghost to
the point that it seems bent on destroying her.
THE GRAVEYARD SPEAKS is a quirky sort of ghost story, but it
definitely does have its scary moments. It is actually a
novella that is used to introduce readers to Jessica. You
will find plenty of reasons in this story to look forward to
the full length book that stars Jessica, who is a wonderful
character and very entertaining. With the right blend of
nervousness and courage, Jessica forges ahead into the
investigation that eventually leads her to a resolution.
Hunter Shea knows how to write horror books that will draw
you in and scare you beyond belief. THE GRAVEYARD SPEAKS
isn't quite as scary other books he has written but you'll
still find yourself quite caught up in Jessica's world and
the ghost that she faces. If you are unfamiliar with Hunter
Shea's books, this may be a great introduction.
Deep in a dark, snow-covered cemetery, a terrifying, moaning
apparition rises from the same grave night after night. Even
the most hardened caretakers won’t go near the Spooner
gravestone on their midnight rounds. Only one ghost hunter
has the will to face the unknown, but at what price? In the
chilling blackness, only Jessica Backman is prepared to
answer the spectral cry from beyond when the graveyard
speaks.
