When was the last time you were really scared by a ghost story? Well for me it was when I read this short story, The Unfortunate Tale of Little Mary Jenkins. The first part of the story is just about some friends on their way to build a bonfire and hang out. As they sit around the fire, pitch darkness all around them, low flames burning, Sam decides to spook his friends a little. This is when he shares the story of a little girl named Mary Jenkins and what happened to her during a "harmless" game of Hide-and-Go-Seek. F.W.Adams does a great job of building the suspense, for the teens listening to Sam's story, and the reader following along. This would be a great story to read outdoors at night to unsuspecting friends and then wait to see then squirm and jump!

The other interesting thing is that Sam and his friends are the characters that can be found in the full novel, yet to be released. Here is the information...

This book sounds great and by reading The Unfortunate Tale of Little Mary Jenkins:A Short Story you get a nice introduction to these characters and their personalities. There are goods things to look forward to from what I read in this short story. I truly love F. W. Adam's writing style. I have a feeling that you will too!
