Due to his stress as a writer, he could not focus on his lover. Yet, his 2 recent books have not been well received. He used to produce amazing stories that were critically acclaimed and made into shows and movies. Plot: Ben Cross is a 30-year-old horror novel writer, who is stuck in a rut. It was actually quite easy to read through this novel for me, but I have read reviews, where some did not like the subject matter or the storyline, so it took them longer. Length-wise, the book is 261 pages long and 8 hours 24 minutes on audible. Readers should be ready to weep at times and be weary at others. I was intrigued by the premise and it kept me reading until the very end. The ghost in this tale died a century ago from a brutal hate crime, which was sadly common. It is also refreshing to finally find a gay ghost story, because honestly, it is about time there’s stories like this in mainstream novels. There’s something about a good ghost story that keeps people wanting more of something, I think Jaclyn Osborn found that in The Ghost of Ellwood. I thought it would be poignant if I begin these special reviews with a ghost story, which is equal parts romantic, tragic, and spine-tingling. I'll be doing ghosts, psychics, Vampires, Werewolves, and magic stories/series. Happy Halloween Month of Reviews, this is the first book that I am reviewing for my month-long special reviews of Halloween stories.
