Haunting Collection!

In small towns, frequently, there is an object that holds the spirit and symbol of the town – such as a building, a park, a statue of a person, a boulder, or in this instance – a tree!  In Graves Grove, it is the oldest Sycamore tree with creepy vibes!

The authors, J.S. Bailey, Kelsey Keating, Matthew Howe, Dakota Caldwell, Mackenzie Flohr, Cathrine Bonham, D.M. Kilgore, Raymond Henri, Travis Perry, Elise Manion, craft haunting stories around the tree and residents resulting in missing and deceased children, and more. Each story moves the tree through history from beginning to end. Short stories do not allow for each character to be fully developed but enough that the listener remembers each story and shudders.  The authors describe using rich and vivid imagery the town, residents, and the tree. Each story flowed well with the other ones.

The narrator, Kevin Perkins, delivers a stellar performance! Each character is richly portrayed with the proper emotion whether it is fear, anger, or bewilderment.  His performance allows the listener to be haunted by several of the stories more deeply than if they were simply read as books. Perkins is skilled at slipping into each character projecting the individuals personality accurately.

Overall, this is a haunting and well-written anthology of stories!
