This is a dark volume. You feel Skottie‘s hand in it, because the story is both dark and has a bit of humor. In it, a young woman, an artist, is trying to find her inspiration. She has found success but keeping that success has been hard. She heads off to the country, finds herself a haunted house, decides it’s the perfect atmosphere in which to find her inspiration. But the house is a little more than just haunted. It’s possessed. By a spirit that seems fun but has a much darker side. This is a one-off story that’s perfect for the spooky times. It’s about looking at your inner demons finding them on the outside and finding ways to conquer them. I’d say I’d love to see where this is going, but I think it ends. It’s an ambiguous end but it is and end. As like most Sokie Young stuff, the stories are intriguing and keep you wanting more. If his name is on it. I’m going to read it, and I truly did like this one even if it didn’t have the humor he normally has.
