The Possession

I love Ronald Kelly. Not only does he love the horror genre, but he is a great storyteller with a great southern voice. I've never been disappointed by any of his books. (Only by the fact that he doesn't write fast enough.) THE POSSESSION is a kind of Civil War ghost story. A young couple move into an old mansion, formerly owned by a southern belle who was murdered by Union soldiers and whose husband returned to find her gone. The trauma and madness of that event seems to resonate to this day and the house is haunted literally and figuratively by the tragedy. A young couple moves in and finds that some dark force has chosen them to replay the tragedy... Kelly has a real talent for writing captivating stories with likeable characters and he delivers the goods when it comes to horror. My only complaint is that his last novel, FEAR, was written several years ago and he has vanished from from the scene. Where are you, Mr. Kelly? Your fans are waiting for something new from you and the genre needs you!
