Stillwell: A Haunting on Long Island by Michael
Phillip Cash 174 pages
I’m a big fan of Michael Phillip Cash’s. He’s one
of those wonderful writers no one knows in the paranormal/fantasy genre. I
first read Stillwell back in 2013, but never got around to writing my review. I
recently picked it up again so I could write the promised review.
I am glad I re-read this little gem. I like a good
ghost story, and Cash never fails to deliver.
I especially like his paranormal stories.
Paul Russo is trying to get his life---and his
kids’ lives---back to normal following the death of his wife, Allison. It was a
quick. Relatively. Six months ago Allison was diagnosed with cancer, and now
she’s gone. Thank God he has sister, his parents, and his in-laws to help.
His career as a real estate agent is in shambles.
Leads that came in while Allison was sick eventually went to someone else.
There is one bright spot. His old friend Craig Andrews needs to sell his
parents’ Long Island mansion, Stillwell Manor. The commission on a $20 million
dollar sale could put his finance back in order.
Stillwell won’t be an easy sell, though. It’s the
site of a murder-suicide. The cleaners did a remarkable job, but the stigma attached
is hard to overcome. There’s also something else happening.
There are rumors that the house is haunted. Local
police believe it’s kids, but soon Paul discovers that no humans are involved
in what is happening at Stillwell.
Can’t giveaway anymore ‘cause that would give away
a great read. Very realistic. I couldn’t read fast enough. Be prepared to sleep
with the lights on. Thankfully it’s a short read that can be completed in a
couple of evenings.
I give Stillwell: A Haunting on Long Island 5 out
of 5 stars.
