A good short story with a very interesting build up to a shocker of an ending. Very well written and descriptive. ( )

Even though this novelette is placed in the horror or supernatural categories, it is so much more. This is a sad story about how people handle loss. It is a frank story placed in a light horror setting. The result is that the reader should not feel like this is a clinical approach to loss. The characters are real, the story is fast paced, and you will have empathy for all you read about. ( )

This was a free book from the author! I definitely got my money’s worth too. It’s not the kind of book that I normally read, but because it was a short story, I thought I’d give it a try.

It was a sad love story. I hurt for the characters’ loss. The author was able to pull you into the story almost from the first sentence. The descriptions made you see and feel along with the characters. The Mill was a terrifying place; one that I wouldn’t have ventured into as a child. Somehow, the Mill called to people who found themselves without their loved ones.

The end was quite a shocker. It was as if the author was leaving his options open. In my mind, I ended the story in my own way. ( )

An excellent short story about loss and the moments of realization that occur every day afterward, The Mill has an added twist of mixing in some mysterious paranormal activity. You won't go through this book quickly because it's short, you'll go through it quickly because you won't want to put it down. The emotions within are intense, but necessarily so, as they guide the reader through the life of one man and his understanding of his broken heart. Nothing will refresh your need to reach out to the one you love like this book will and nothing will have you thinking to yourself "What would I do" more than this story as well. I expect that your only complaint will be that there just isn't enough of it.

Note: Though this book was a free gift from the author, the content of my review was in no way influenced by the gifting. The book speaks for itself and my review would have been worded just this way even if I'd gone out and bought it. I also give bonus points for Text To Speech enabling on Kindle format.... but that also wasn't a factor in the above review. ( )

A short story about Michael Anderson,how he works through the recent death of his wife Nicola and the supernatural pull the dark ruins of the Mill . I was rivited from the first sentence to the teary eyed ending. This novelette covers the heart pulling strings of love lost to the suspence and horror of the supernatural. If I had to criticise it would be, I wanted more. I have no hesitation in highly recommending this novelette.

****DISCLOSURE
I received a free copy through members give away in exchange for an honest review. ( )

The trees around him were bare and there was a strong chill in the air that raked his throat as he breathed.
