If you enjoy well-written ghost stories, you really can’t go wrong with Shadows Remain, by Tim McWhorter. This haunting novella may remind you of some of the adventures you took as a kid, but in this case, things definitely take a turn for the worse.
It starts off with some young boys playing in a cemetery late at night. Now I don’t condone kids sneaking out of the house, especially at night to play in a cemetery, but I can’t say I never played a little Tom and Huck with my friends when everyone else was sleeping. Yet for all the bravado of the kids, tragedy strikes, which sets the tone for everything to follow.
McWhorter is a very capable writer with an engaging style, and I definitely look forward to reading his other two published works. He’s obviously smart and stylistic, and if I’m not mistaken, even throws in an ode to Thomas Wolfe’s “Look Homeward, Angel.” Readers, keep your eye on Tim McWhorter.
