Faces Behind the Stones: Book 5
Publication Date:
A funeral can evoke sadness on the faces of those attending, especially when they reach the cemetery. Looking at those faces, I begin to wonder what they are thinking, and possibly what they are hiding.
As I scan the tombstones, I contemplate whether many of the faces behind these stones were wronged during their lives and I can hear them speaking to me. They want to tell me how they ended up here. Were they guilty of great evil in their lives, or were they wrongly accused?
Listen as they tell their stories, and chills will run down your spine as you learn: What lies behind the stones, because each of these voices was silenced in life by the evil of others.
Hear their words…
understand their reasons…
and then decide:
Were the Accusations wrong?
Gravestones may not mean much to strangers, but in the latest compilation of the Faces Behind the Stones series, author Fran Lewis delivers an assortment of eerie selections highlighting the people in those graves.
Accusations draws upon tales featuring characters targeted for doing evil things, but whether they were falsely accused is left up to the reader.
Fifteen short stories are included in this selection, with deaths ranging from suicide to murder. Readers won’t find stories about much-loved Grandma Ethel, who died peacefully in her sleep. Instead, these stories all pack an unexpected twist.
While there is a definite sense of the macabre, I would have liked to see a bit more development in the individual stories. However, I also say the same thing about many of Alfred Hitchcock’s tales, which certainly have this same kind of flavor.
Accusations delivers tales from the dead as they account for their presence among the stones, leaving the readers to render judgment.
