Calendar of Ghosts

“This is the first collection of spooky short stories from this author that I’ve read. I found them to be enjoyable with most of the stories a quick read with a satisfying ending. There is an assured music theme in some stories, in which I recognised the era and the songs, for example Radio Waves and Father’s Day. The contrasting story, Mother’s Day moved me to tears and surprised me in its rich tenderness. There are also a good round-up of stories about couples such as Easter House and Eutierra, the character dynamics of which are played to their strength in the tight context of short stories. I highly recommend this collection for anyone who is interested in compact narrative, in a narrative that is easy-to-read with endearing characterisation.”
