THRILLS AND CHILLS FOR THE SUSPENSE LOVER!!!! HIDDEN TRUTHS & LIES BY FRAN LEWIS BK 4 FACES BEHIND THE STONES!

 

4.0 out of 5 stars Short and creepyReviewed in the United States on July 31, 2016I enjoy short stories and collections, especially creepy ones. And I take into account that they are just nibbles, not complete stories.

Some of these were great. They gave me the shivers and I truly thought the characters got what they deserved. And a couple had me a bit confused. Perhaps because the dead were too.

The dead speak from their graves in Golden Stone Cemetery. They have some ghastly tales to tell. Just how wicked were they to be buried and forgotten?. Would they repent if they could? Do they lust for revenge? Are their souls worth saving?

The answers lie in these pages. It takes talent to spin good tales using so little words, and this author passed my test. While the stories are short, they leave a lasting impression.

This is one that I couldn’t stop reading until I read the last word. Several of the stories had me thinking long afterwards. That’s why I’ll be reading more from this author.

To quote R.L. Stine: “Beware, you’re in for a scare!”

I received this book for my honest review.

Faces Behind the Stones #1 is an eerie collection of tales told by the dead themselves. Each of the seven stories reveals what events brought them to their final resting place - an obscure, neglected corner of a graveyard.

Each character tells his or her own story. Often, the reader is left wondering--murder or suicide? All the people are forgotten, their graves ignored by the living, their graves overgrown. Why did these people have to die?

Sadly, none of the dead seemed to matter to the people they left behind. There is no one to grieve for them except a lone stranger who picks her way through the deserted cemetery.

Faces Behind the Stones is an incredible collection of stories, each more eerie and spine tingling than the last. Fran Lewis' style is chatty and easy to read. The reader feels drawn into the characters as if they really are the ones speaking.

I highly recommend this creepy compilation and look forward to the other books in the series.

SILENT VOICES TELL THEIR OWN STORIES---SILENT VOICES BY FRAN LEWIS

 GET YOUR CREEPY FICTION HERE! 

Driving down a rocky road I saw the overgrown grass, weeds, and poison ivy overtaking the outer perimeter of the bushes. The smell of mildew permeated the air, along with the stench of animals killed by cars coming up from the ground along this dirt road. I could see the sadness on the faces in the cars behind me; I could feel the pain and sorrow.

As I looked inside the cars and saw the faces of the drivers, I began to wonder what they were thinking, their thoughts and feelings as they traveled down life's highway, maybe for the very last time. What stories lay behind the faces behind the wheel of each oncoming car? What stories were hidden? Whose voices are now silenced?

All my life I had to struggle and work hard for everything that I ever needed. So, why not take advantage of a situation? My grandmother, Gertie, was frail and much older, needing constant care at home. Her mind was sharp, but her legs were weak. She could no longer shop for herself and going to the bank to deposit her disability checks had become a real chore. Each one of us had a different father, and not one of us had all of the conveniences that life should have given us. So, we joined forces to get what we deserved from our grandmother. My sisters and I had decided to take on the responsibility of her daily care. Of course, I felt, as they did, that we deserved something for our efforts. Moving into her huge house was not a problem, as she had six bedrooms, three baths, and enough closet space for everyone. The house was amazing, and the kitchen was state of the art. Taking some of what she had was not a problem until she began to realize that something was wrong.

The four granddaughters pool their ideas and resources to take over what their grandmother has worked her whole life to have. BUT… the situation takes a turn when Gertie turns the tables on them.

I found it hard to put this book down! The author does an excellent job setting up the characters making it easy for the reader to get to know them even if they did not read previous books. I loved that the story took place in Virginia Beach with references to many of the local places I like to frequent.
I have read the other two suspense books by this author, Too Later To Run and Donation Man. I can hardly wait for the next one!

Witchwoods Second Edition by Gary D. Henry
So, here's the thing...I read the first edition of Witchwoods years ago and loved it. I thought I was prepared. I was totally not prepared! I saw it coming, I swear I did, but I still jumped and cuddled like a cat. I was intrigued and just kept turning pages. What a joy to read a story that keeps me this involved.
As is par with a Gary D. Henry book, the beginning is more narrative. Henry uses this time to acquaint his readers with the background and histories of his most prominant characters. He also builds a very solid visual of the scenery so that it doesn't need to be overly emphasized during the action scenes. I already have the layout in my head and can run the characters just as quickly as possible through the terrifying events. Although supiorly frightening, I generally read it with a "this could never happen" Jason-ish viewpoint. And I so loved the ending. I was left wondering where Henry would take this story next.

The planet, the buildings, the characters, all the tiny details, and the battles would be visually stunning. I’m such a fan of A.

I sincerely want more!! I just had a blast reading this story. I felt it was gripping and anyone who is a fan of the dystopian/thriller genres would enjoy. It's somewhat similar to other dystopian novels, as it's hard to be completely original, however I found Hjort's tone gave this story something different that I enjoyed exploring as I read each new page.

A GROUP OF FRIENDS TRAVEL TO ALL THE SPOOKY PLACES ONE HALLOWEEN. THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME TURNS DEADLY ON THE LEMON ROAD! LEMON ROAD BY GARY D. HENRY

Two weeks before Halloween, Jason McNab and Dustin Karp planned a fright-filled trip with ten friends. Dustin, the owner of a multi-million-dollar entertainment empire, purchased a large million-dollar bus to travel to the best haunted houses on the east coast. The trip, fueled by their desire to experience scary events together, takes them to the famed Sleepy Hollow cemetery for a midnight walk through the creepy darkness. Paid actors jumped out at them dressed in ghoulish costumes Though they knew it was a show, the frightful events gave them shivers of fear. As they proceed, strange things begin to occur. An eerie presence offered subliminal messages that none understood, directing them to an evil place. 
The second stop to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, they entered a haunted mansion funded by the local government for the children of the town. Though it wasn’t as scary as their previous walk through the darkness, two of his friends found love. Still, messages sent to their mind continued until one of the group found an old poem. The poem directed them to a new destination in Perry, West Virginia, in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains. An urban legend about an evil rural avenue, named Lemon Road, fascinated them. A place not on any map, a cursed road, an evil road that ran in front of the Wedekindt Manor. A place that houses a morbidly evil woman who lures the living to her realm for her own sadistic needs. To get there they had to meet the author of the poem who had advanced Alzheimer’s disease. 
The author’s son ran an old rundown general store in the mountains and told the group that his father is the only one who can relay the story to them. They wanted to travel the road. They craved adventure. They wanted to be scared. The old man would not speak unless each swallowed a pill that turned out to be candy. He told of monumental evil on the road and the witch of the manor, Janet Wedekindt. Whose family name was at the end of their line. The Group of friends embark on the last leg of their Halloween journey, but will they return, or will they suffer the perils of Lemon Road. Death is traveling the road with them in the form of a vintage corvette deemed the Yellow Ghost. However, that isn’t the only thing that haunt their thoughts because the cursed avenue needs to feed. Pain endures until death offers relief. Take the pill and travel the evil road.

Lemon Road: Gary D. Henry
Lemon road
Just how far will you go to have a adventure? Would you risk death just to satisfy your curiosity? What started out, as their usual visits to haunted cemeteries or museums will turn into the biggest nightmare of their lives? Each member of the group will face demons, obstacles and inner fears and terror never before experienced all because they dared to travel the lemon road.
Jason McNab, Dustin Karp and ten other friends will at the end of this frightful journey learn many hard lessons in life. Friendships will be tested. Fear will rise to a new heights and few will ever be the same after Dustin, the owner of a multi-million dollar entertainment empire, decides to buy a huge bus that’s as large as a mansion and can house all of his friends and travel and visit the scariest haunted houses on the east coast. Scary is putting it mildly as the trip will take them far into the depths of the famed Sleepy Hollow cemetery for s midnight walk into the depths of darkness. As you take the walk with them you the reader will have to decide what is real, what is staged and just who is jumping out at these unsuspecting visitors. What is real and what is fake? But, this was just the beginning of the terrors they would experience as the next stop was in Lancaster, Pennsylvania where the group added another member named Blake. Every step of the way things happen and strange happenings will make you the reader wonder what is being the subliminal messages that no one really understands, what is the reference to Lemon Road? The local government funds the haunted mansion in Pennsylvania for children of the town. Things spiral out of control and the fear factor is ever present after one of the group finds the poem titled Lemon Road. After reading the poem they find their way to Perry, West Virginia in the middle of the Blue Ridge Mountains and from this point on I must warn you, that you are entering dangerous territory and reading this at your own risk. Evil is everywhere once they take their bus and find their way to the Lemon Road. But, most would think that traveling this desolate road was not anything odd but the man who directed them there, told them about this road since you won’t find it on any map, this evil road ran in front of the Wedekindt Manor. Wait until you meet the Janet. First, understand that not everything you see will appear to be real to some of those traveling in this bus. Some will drink their ways into oblivion. Others will find their own definition of love and trust while some might find that things are not what they expected them to be and although they want to return home, well the bus has other ideas and the red Ferrari that is housed in the back, well you have to wait and see the role it plays.
Meet the son of the author of the poem and the author of the poem in person and if they don’t scare you away and make you run for the hills then you must be as daring as our thirteen unsuspecting friends.
The lure of the house draws these young people in but meeting Janet changes it all. She is more than sadistic; she is delusional, grazed and controlling. Not even thinking about the needs of anyone else she assigns each person a room, takes liberties with some of them but within the novel we realize there is much more to who Janet is and what she has planned. Those that remain on the bus for any length of time also learn that something on the bus is not quite right and there might be a demon there causing odd occurrences to happen, losing light, food spoiling and well you have to join them to learn more. Traveling the road will change their lives forever and wanting to explore and have unusual adventures this might change their minds in the future that’s if they live long enough to survive. Some lose limbs, some will die but not everything is what it appears to be. As Dustin is the main catalyst in the story and is driven to become the hero of many and the savior of some while hoping to find his own soul mate.
Meet Remy and the Yellow Ghost or the corvette that will take you down, run you over and leave you for dead. Each character is forced to take the pill that the man who’s leading them to the road insists that they take before even speaking to them. Just entering the mansion and dealing with Janet several will disappear. Just who or what is Camille and why is she targeted? What about Jim? What about our author in the novel Glen?
Five days to leave and escape. Will they survive and will they somehow find a way out of the mansion and back home? But, taking the bus and driving down Lemon Road they use up gas and realize they are getting nowhere. How can they ride for hours and wind up where they started or are they imagining things?
When events get out of control and Kristin, who is now Dustin love interest disappears, Sonya and Blake have some strange romps in the woods and other characters exhibit odd behaviors, you won’t believe how author Gary B. Henry sorts it all out, brings it all together and you will learn what is real, what is in your imagination as these characters along with you the reader enter your very own TWILIGHT ZONE! As Alfred Hitchcock Presents, that my mom loved to watch, presented an ending that you would never get, or Masterpiece Theater and the one and only Rod Serling in the Twilight Zone: Make sure that you have enough food, flashlights, protective gear, weapons if needed, clothes before you dare to find out what happens when you along with Dave, Dustin, Kathryn, Glen, Kristin, Camille and the rest dare to enter the Yellow Bus and drove down LEMON ROAD!
“ A thousand times over. Let her live and I’ll gladly allow Remy to run over me as many times as he wants. I’d do that for any of my friends.” Just how loyal is Dustin and why is he willing to risk his life and for whom? Just what will Janet try to do to Kristin? What is the reason for her rage? What happens when Remy goes after Dustin? Learn what happens when he comes face to face with the hands of death. Learn the truth when a startling revelation is revealed. Just what is Lemon Road! Who will you meet if you decide to join them on this mansion bus? Which of you and your friends will learn the truth behind Janet’s rage and will Remy win or will the group take him out?

Characters that are well placed, dialogue that is realistic and a story that will scare you from start to finish as author Gary D. Henry’s imagination is equal to my favorite writer: Edgar Allen Poe.

it was a particularly warm night with a breeze that blew her long hair about her face. She sat the singed box down on the floor of her landing. The high blueish moon enhanced her long white gown, giving its white satin luster a light blue an-gelic hue. The wind lifted a few of the ashen photos from the box and floated to eye level and a sudden gust blasted it into a million pieces. She placed her hands on the railing, looked to the bright full moon and screamed. She bellowed to the lofty heavens, “You’ve taken my parents and destroyed my direction in life. You’ve taken my aunt and uncle and deprived me of their wisdom and you’ve taken Ron and made me fear love. Yet, I’m still here! What more do you want to prove that you are relevant?” The wind gusted and strongly pushed her against the wooden railing and but she continued her rant to the winds of fate. “You’ve taken my freedom and sent me to the blackness of hell, causing me to doubt my existence. You’ve taken my animals to destroy my spirit and took my Katy to destroy my soul… yet I persevered. What else do you want? My life? My birth defied your edict… so take it and let me lay upon the cool grass once more.” Just as she said that, her weight upon the railing caused it to break, sending it sliding off the tall roof and exploding as it impacted the concrete below. With tears in her eyes, she continued with her loud rant. “So sling your destructive arrows and I’ll bare my back and welcome them, but be warned…though one or two may pene-trate my armor…it’s getting thicker and soon they won’t harm me because you’re making me steel! I will persevere until your quiver is bare and I will take charge of my life once more!” She stepped back a few steps away from the broken rail and made her decision. She picked the box of her burned memories and thrust it forward allowing the wind to take them to parts unknown. She‘d given fate everything she had with the exception of her life and though she felt the wind shift to her back, push-ing her to the precipice, she fought back. “No, you will not take my last vestige of hope. I was born into this world to do great things and you’ll not take me until I’ve achieved that end!” She didn’t know, or care, about the ramifications of her defiance as she screamed from her perch. She cared little as to what or who heard her words meant for the heavens nor did she care what came next. Whether or not fate existed as an entity with senses, she made sure it heard her. She challenged it and felt better for it. She hoped her burnt offering that disintegrated in the wind, satisfied its wicked intentions. She only cared that beings, benevolent or not, heard her. Stepping away from the broken railing and fighting the wind that beckoned her to jump, she returned to the elevator.

This book definitely caught my attention as soon as I started reading it. At first it started very slowly, but as the book progressed, so did the speed. I was intrigued by the mystery and was not able to predict the ending. I think that was the best part about the book. I also really enjoyed the spirituality in this story. It was almost as if there were two stories in one. What a great read!

Wow. This book is phenomenal. The writing is exquisite, and the storyline is unlike anything I've ever read before. Little Livie is a shining star. I just adore her. It was suspenseful, shocking, and beautiful all at the same time. There are so many layers to Nicky's writing. Highly recommended for a complex, thought-provoking read that goes so much deeper than a murder mystery.
