"This is a great start for a new series.""Good writing, good first-person narrative, and fast paced adventure and scares keep those Kindle pages turning.""The Dark Man (The Graveyard #1) by Desmond Doane is a good scary story that had me hooked right away.""Masterpiece of horror.""There is so much to recommend this novel that I don't quite know where to start.""It's a fun story. Creepy at times, but that's a good thing.""The characters were engaging, and the mysteries and evil entities were intriguing and scary.""I watch just about all the ghost hunting and paranormal shows out there and I could swear Desmond Doane was more than a pen name for an author but rather for someone who actually worked on one of those shows as I marveled at his expertise at the back of the scene dynamics of these shows.""Is it astonishing to call a paranormal novel both scary and heartwarming? Both in-your-face horrifying and also touching?""My new best friend, Ford Atticus Ford. He's quite the flawed character but I love him anyway.""Well written and highly recommended. Two thumbs up.""Desmond Doane aka Ernie Lindsey has created a tale as good and as frightening as Koontz or King.""The Dark Man was a delicious discovery for a cool autumn evening.""If you're a fan of Ghost Hunters or Ghost Adventures, The Dark Man will deliver the terrifying "thrill" of hauntings that their cameras will never be so lucky to catch."
