Adding to the excitement is that the audience will wonder whether the terror is an evil supernatural creature or an amoral human...Aiden James provides a dark thriller that grips fans from the opening."--Harriet Klausner for "The Forgotten Eden""Aiden James writing style flows very easily and I found that "CadesCove" snowballed into a very gripping tale. Clearly the strengths in thepiece were as the spirit's interaction became prevalent with thefamily... The Indian lore and ceremonies and the flashbacks to Allie Mae's(earthly) demise were very powerful. I think those aspects separatedthe work from what we've seen before in horror and ghost tales."--Evelyn Klebert, author of "A Ghost of a Chance" and "Dragonflies""Aiden James has a keen eye for detail and an uncanny knack for scaring the hell out of me. We are watching a master at work. "The Raven Mocker" is a nearly perfect thriller. Ghost stories don't get any better than this."--J.R.
