A very literary but perhaps not literal ghost story. And like many great writers, Gifune gives you the story and lets you spin your own interpretation out of the threads of facts that do exist. The reader can choose to make this a story of demons, of ghosts, or of madness. My vote is madness but that is just one interpretation. And I keep coming back to the story and re-thinking my conclusions. I will most likely read it again and come up with yet another analysis. One thing that is clear is that Mr. Gifune is a great writer and I am looking forward to reading the rest of his catalog.
Chris' Eclectic Book Reviews
I am a practicing attorney in Texas. Constantly sleep deprived from reading late, watching movies, I read about 125-150 books a year. I read and review mystery, horror, literary, history/biographies and some best sellers--anything that takes me into an alternative universe or makes me see the world in a different way. I post reviews on Goodreads, Booklikes, Amazon and Twitter. I am a NetGalley reader and pre-read for published authors.
