Customer Reviews

Excellent Story! - Very Descriptive!

In short I enjoyed the book very much... I am not a very fast reader as I distract easily, but I read this book in about 3 days (evenings)... Very difficult to put it down... I liked the time sequences... It reminded me a little bit of Pulp Fiction how it 'jumped' around from time period to time period... The descriptions are fantastic... I could see the settings in my head... Very appealing to my senses... If a movie was put out based on your book, I would NOT see it as I would not want Hollywood to ruin the author's discriptions and my images...

The Real Deal

Mean Spirits is a great, unique and compelling ghost story. I just don't understand what the reviewer from North Carolina was thinking. This book was original, fresh, unique to its genre and sent a tantalizing chill through my spine. The scene where the ghost hunter, Ed Swann, solves an almost century old murder mystery through his ghost hunting techniques and an apparition is truly breakthough. Read it.

Engaging and unique story!

This story grabs your attention and never lets go. It's intriguing, well-written and engaging. It's novel, too, as it traces a curse from the days of the Mayflower into the 21st Century. Whether you're a ghost story fan or you're just looking for escape, you'll really enjoy Mean Spirits!

Tremendous Historical Detail

As a native Newporter, I found the book to be tremendously accurate and insightful with both its present day and historical details of Newport and New England in general. The author weaves a suspenseful, exciting ghost story crossing between the present and past. This is the type of book you simply can't put down!

Clever, taut and enthralling!

Mean Spirits really pulls you in! With a hell of a start and an even better finish it's gripping and you just can't set it down! The characters are enticing; someone to hate and someone to love with every flip of the page! Spookernatural! A heck of a read!
