APPARITIONS Horror Book Review

Bailey Khane is a renowned author visited by ghostly guests-murder victims seeking the peace of the grave. Unbeknownst to her, they were all slain by the same man. Caught between the growing shadow of his knife and the unholy fury of the dead he has left in his wake, she is forced to call upon obscure knowledge of the occult, superstition and myth to survive.  When Andy Bennett searches for the answers to his sister’s murder he is drawn into a web of horror and shambling corpses-with Bailey high on his list of suspects.  Sheriff Jay Carson and Deputy Raines fight to form a line between their citizens and the creatures that crave to destroy them.    “With Apparitions, author Raven Bower manages to weave a suspenseful crime story with paranormal elements into a chilling read. She reaches deep down into the razor-sharp wire of her imagination and cuts a tale of stark terror. Definitely a writer to watch!”  Darren Franz Author of JACK FROST and GHOST TRAIN   “Raven Bower’s work shows an intimate awareness of the dark things and the malevolent side of human nature. Unsettling scenes abound in APPARITIONS, and there’s not a doubt in my mind that we’ll be seeing much more of Ms. Bower in the future. A writer with great promise!”  Kealan Patrick Burke Bram Stoker Award-Winning Author of CURRENCY OF SOULS, THE TURTLE BOY, and THE HIDES.  “First-time novelist Raven Bower has written a genuine horror story, filled with twists and turns and enough chills to keep readers turning the pages.that is, until the sun sets.”  Steve Alten New York Times Bestselling Author of MEG & THE LOCH
