About the Book
Nothing was going to ruin Castle's holiday, except the mocking laughter of the dead...
Larry Castle was going to enjoy his escape to the seaside. Basking in the sunshine, flaunting his mistress, strutting like a big man around town. However, a strange chance encounter leaves his confidence reeling. Castle hears a pointed phrase from his own past, a loaded sentence which only he and a long dead man should know. Words which could mean the crashing down of Castle's comfortable life.
There's the dreadful possibility that someone knows his darkest secret. A long ago crime, a brutal murder. The thing that made him, but which could equally break him. No matter what, Castle is going to have to deal with this problem. And he's prepared to go to any length to do it.
This weekend Castle is going to confront the spectres of his past, but some are more far real than others...
Death at the Seaside is a gripping new supernatural thriller, with an unforgettable antihero. A horror to chill on even the most uncomfortably hot day!
The first of the F.R. Jameson's Ghostly Shadows series.
Praise for Death at the Seaside:
"Do yourself a favour and read this book, you won't be disappointed."
"The way Jameson writes is nothing short of amazing. I could easily read anything written by him."
"This one's kind of creepy. It was advertised as horror/suspense, and it certainly qualifies as a psychological thriller that might play well in a venue similar to The Twilight Zone."
"This was a great, fun read that I would recommend to anyone who enjoys character studies with a pinch of the supernatural."
"A sinister story of the shocking consequences when a man's destructive past and tormented mind, finally shatter."
"This story is well-written and is part of a series. This short novella is a four-plus Amazon star read. I plan to read all the stories in the series."
"Superb characterisation lies at the heart of F R Jameson's excellent novella"
"I can't put my finger on exactly why, but this book very much reminded me of Albert Camus' The Stranger. It has something to do with the starkness of the narrative and the way the main character is withdrawn from true emotion until nearly the very end of the story."
"The characters came to life through the thoughtful writing. Twists and turns that kept me interested and fully engaged in the story."
"The characterization and the detailed picturesque of the world is perfect."
What are Ghostly Shadows?
They are that strange flicker you glimpse from the corner of your eye; that sound you're certain you hear in the dark of night in an empty house; they're the feeling of dread which races up and overwhelms you completely. Ghostly Shadows are all that's scary, disturbing, creepy and unsettling. Every fear and anxiety bound together, nebulous in form, but completely inescapable.
For me, Ghostly Shadows are the connective tissue for all my writing. Every one of my novels, novellas and short stories - be they horror or noir - is joined together through these Ghostly Shadows. There are a thousand such tales lurking in my consciousness, and I intend to write them all.
Death at the Seaside is the first of the Ghostly Shadows novellas. A brand new horror anthology series. The other three Ghostly Shadows novellas: Certain Danger; Won't You Come Save Me and Call of the Mandrake are for sale now. While the first five Ghostly Shadows Shorts: Foliage; The Strange Fate of Lord Bruton; The Widow Ravens; Algernon Swafford - Private Investigator and Sacrifice at St. Nick's are also available on Kindle.
