I grew up listening to ghost stories from my family. My granny’s property was next door to an old churchyard and you could see the headstones through the trees separating the two properties. She’d tell us about haints (spirits) that would wander over and mess with the knick-knacks she had. She also used to tell a story about my how my grandfather’s ghost would lay down on the bed next to her sometimes. Said the old iron bed would squeak. I still get chills when I think about it. You started out writing fantasy, why the switch to suspense? Funny you mention that. I actually started out writing scary stories. I wasn’t sure people would want to read them, so I wrote my second love, fantasy. About a year ago a friend of mine asked me whatever happened to those ghost stories you used to write. She told me I should start publishing them too, and so here we are. Why stories featuring a psychic who can see the dead? Well, like most of my characters, she just popped into my head one day and wouldn’t shut up. I thought it would be interesting to write about her life and about the South Carolina coast. I lived there for fourteen years and know the landscape really well. I also have family that’s a lot like hers – all up in your business but that loves you fiercely. Who would enjoy this novel? Anyone who loves a good scare, a little humor and a crazy southern family full of witches.Read Haunting Charlie for FREE with your Kindle Unlimited subscription.

    Dupin is unrivalled."H. P. Lovecraft, a master of the modern horror story, wrote in 1932 that the perfect writer should have "the sheer genius of Poe."Tributes like these coming from such different writers indicate the widespread reputation for excellence enjoyed by Edgar Allan Poe (1809-1849). During a short life shot through with personal tragedy, Poe managed to write virtuoso stories of detection, nightmarish tales of the macabre, brilliant poetry, and incisive criticism. In the totality of these achievements, few other American writers are his equal.Includes the following tales:The Tell-Tale HeartThe Black CatThe Fall of the House of UsherThe Pit and the PendulumThe Cask of the AmontilladoThe AssignationThe Masque of the Red DeathThe Premature BurialWilliam WilsonA Tale of the Ragged MountainsThe Gold-BugThe Murders in the Rue MorgueThe Mystery of Marie RogetThe Purloined LetterThe Facts in the Case of M.
