This is what kept me from picking up HIDDEN PICTURES for so long....It sounds like another generic ghost story from the back cover description. So I'm willing to pick up the upcoming book sight unseen and just give it a go.

I completely understand where you are coming from. Had I not loved THE IMPOSSIBLE FORTRESS so much I probably would have skipped HIDDEN PICTURES.

Ron, I believe you are the person who introduced me to Rekulak's stories. So, Thank You! Regarding THE LAST ONE AT THE WEDDING, the cover art is pretty generic, and I have not read anything about the plot. I do agree that the title alone could portend another story in a well-used trope. Just like you, I am giving the author the benefit of the doubt as I also think HIDDEN PICTURES could have fallen into that trap and he completely avoided it.

Maybe it’s time to crack open one of those Tudor books. Â

You might just like it (don’t let Jeff scare you off!).

I would recommend starting with either The Other People or The Burning Girls, both of which were thriller / mysteries with a bit of the supernatural thrown in,

If short stories are more your thing, her collection A Sliver of Darkness was very good, and the stories had a lot more of a supernatural angle to them.

Agreed. I've staring at them for quite some time, telling myself that I need to get to them. Thanks for the starting point recommendations and hopefully I can actually get to one before Sub Press publishes another one of her books!

My pleasure...glad he garnered another fan, his work deserves it!
