This week is the anniversary, Aug. 30, of Mary Shelley's birth date. To celebrate this author's memory and her work, I am offering my short story Beyond Castle Frankenstein for FREE on Amazon and Smashwords. The story is biographical fiction, a ghost story about Mary Shelley, 2400 words.

Customer Reviews:
"The writing is absolutely beautiful. The story itself is rather haunting. "

"A touch of antiquarianism (reminiscent of M.R. James), the involvement of real people and places (presented accurately), imaginative, atmospheric, and with just the right frisson of horror at the end. It is a well-conceived story well told, and a welcome addition to the world of supernatural fiction. "

Download the short story here: https://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Castle-...
