Welcome to My Monday Minis.

This is where I review very short stories and flash fiction.

For today I’ll be telling you about The Devil’s Walk

by Brian Harmon

Carl Delsh is dying. He’s lived a long time and he’s ready to join his love who went 20 years ago.

His granddaughter and great granddaughter sit vigil as his time draws near.

In one of his last lucid moments, he tells his granddaughter, Amanda, about the tall man with long white hair who murdered his best friend Lonnie so many years ago.

This would be the perfect story to tell late at night, sitting in the woods, surrounded by trees, and the only light comes from the sputtering fire you sit around.

You’d be looking over your shoulder, squinting into the darkness.

Did something linger in the dark? Is someone peering back at you?

You’d be waiting from someone to yell Boo! You’d just want the suspense to end.

That’s how this story unfolds. Slowly gaining momentum and building in suspense.

This is not a ghost story. It’s a cautionary tale. And a really creepy one.

I’ve also read another short story by Brian

My Review

In the six years Allan has owned his house, it has never been even remotely haunted. But after his wife is startled by an unknown noise, he begins to notice very strange activity throughout the house. At first, he’s excited by the idea of a ghostly visitor, but his enthusiasm quickly turns to dread as he realizes that his phantom guest has also begun to notice him.

And on my next Monday Minis I’ll be reviewing another one of Brian’s short stories.

The Man in the Fire took everything Daniel ever held dear. Now Daniel sets out for one final confrontation.
