Description: Silas
had an extreme case of claustrophobia so naturally he was terrified of being
buried alive. In his Will his Last Request was to be beheaded. Will his loving niece
be up for the gruesome job? What horrors will she discover in his tomb?
In Short: A wonderful horror short novelette that will
chill you to your bones and leave you on the edge of your seat until it's
satisfying conclusion. Anyone who likes a good scary story should grab this
book!
Pros: This book
is incredibly well written. It is set in Victorian England and not only is the
setting realistic but the language of the book is perfect for this period. It
is very descriptive, Jeff Chapman has done a wonderful job surrounding you in
this world so that you feel the full effect of this chilling story. It is a
wonderful length. It is longer than your typical short story, so you see a lot
of unique characters with detailed personalities and there are plenty of
exciting plot twists to keep you guessing. I was completely glued from the
start. It is just the right amount of scary and gore, nothing too overwhelming,
but enough to make you feel the thrilling tension of the plot. The ending was
awesome. I honestly had no idea how the story was going to turn out as I was
reading it and my predictions for the end were totally wrong.
Cons: I have no issues with this book.
Parent's Guide: Some gore and horror relating to
beheading and claustrophobia that may be disturbing to some readers. No
swearing, no sexual content.
I received a free copy of this book in return for my honest
review.
