Heart-pounding prose

This book is exquisitly written,and Mary Joy Martin has that rare artistic gift that few writers truly have: An ability to turn ordinary prose into pure poetry. The mark of a really good writer is to take the stories they tell and to breath life into them, in effect, setting them to music, with tempo and rhythm, tone and beat. That's what this book has. Comparing this book to another forgettable one I read on American Hauntings is like comparing an artistic painting to a stick figure drawing. The one I read on American Hauntings had no flair, and was just straight facts about hauntings across America that chose and then presented their ghostly stories poorly, without the passion and color that Martin brings to her spooky tales of Colorado's restless spirits from the other side.Of course, I'm a skeptic either way, but it was Martin's way of telling her stories that made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and her vivid descriptions superbly painted the canvas of these etheral encounters that the other author on American Hauntings rendered as rudementary black and white sketches. Authors like Mary Joy Martin, on the other hand, leave me wanting to explore more of their work.
