Lisa Mannetti’s superb writing talents have garnered her one Bram Stoker Award already for her first novel The Gentling Box (DarkHart Press 2008) and she may have two more to add to her credit. One nomination is for the opening story Dissolution in her latest effort Deathwatch (Shadowfall Publications 2010). Dissolution is a spine-tingling supernatural haunt followed by the equally chilling Sheila Na Gig. Mannetti’s supernatural spirits are sadistic and cruel rivaling the ghosts of Richard Matheson’s Hell House or Stephen King’s Overlook Hotel. These companion novellas will raise the hairs on the back of your neck and haunt your imagination long after the last page is finished.
The first tale, Dissolution, takes us back to 1893 and opens with Stuart Granville, a young medical student, arriving in Hyde Park, New York where he has landed a job after being expelled from school for drinking. He is assigned to...
