KBR: The Haunt by L. Marshall James

7/2/2015

As the title suggests, this novelette is a thriller. Though as in most thrillers the conclusion is mandatory, this one sports a slight twist most won't see coming.

The main character, Brad, is about as unlikeable as a man without hope can get, but not even he deserves what he gets. Or does he? Sometimes Karma IS a "B"! Choosing to do nothing is a choice, and often it is the wrong one. The reader will have to decide for themself if the characters in this story make the right choices. Since this is such a short work, saying much more about it would give too much away. It's enough to know that this story will make you think, about life, about how our lives are often intermingled with those of others in unexpected ways that leave us forever changed.

Free with Kindle unlimited, if you hurry, this one is a fast read with no commercials!

Book Bling gives this story 4 stars!

L. Marshall James hails from northwest rural Pennsylvania, where he ran around barefoot and played 8-bit Nintendo when he wasn't playing with tar in the middle of the road. After a subpar high school performance, he obtained an associate's degree in information technology before realizing a powerful disdain for office jobs. Nonetheless, he worked in the IT field for over six years before calling it quits and joining his girlfriend in Southeast Asia for a traveling foray that lasted almost two years. He returned home just in time for Thanksgiving. Surprisingly enough, his family still loved him. At the time of publication, L. Marshall James is essentially a bum with no job and no permanent home. He would like to have both, but the wheres and hows of either are uncertain, as is much of his future.
