Shards

Patrick C. Greene

Horror / Contemporary / Fiction

Shelley Frakes didn't intend to spend her morning sweeping up broken glass and investigating an open basement door, but the real estate business had taken such a hit in the last year these were the least of her concerns. The real problem would be getting the secluded property to sell. Unless...someone has already moved in.As if being the firm's junior realtor wasn't difficult enough, Shelley is in charge of the worst listing in the county; a quickly-deteriorating house just remote enough to be a pain in the ass. Shelley has a chance to unload it on a buyer who's meeting her in the morning--but that broken window in the den won't be much of a selling point. Shelley will have to at least clean up the glass if she wants a sale, and worry about what caused it later. Then again; there's no time like the present.

Richard Booth suspects something amiss just beyond his hotel room door. Waking to the memory of a scream in the wind blown New Hampshire night, does he dare to explore the hallway? Was it just the remnants of a dream? How do you know when your imagination is getting the better of you, and when there really is something out there?Richard Booth suspects something amiss just beyond his hotel room door. Waking to the memory of a scream in the wind blown New Hampshire night, does he dare to explore the hallway? Was it just the remnants of a dream? How do you know when your imagination is getting the better of you, and when there really is something out there?"Patrick Greene's Into the Small Hours stood out to me in particular. It's not every writer than can take the mundane, something like spending the night in a hotel room, and turn it into a very spooky story that plays on the reader's fears of the unknown with so few words." From a reader review.
