Kingsburg’s atmosphere is thick and intense. The town is alive with memories, spooks, and townsfolk who never left and those who were called back. The bay is menacing and silence roars throughout the town. Roger returns to a warped reflection of his childhood town. He’s been called. Wonderfully written with nerve rattling descriptions, Award Winning Author Jim Donohue methodically and intentionally guides the reader through the silent streets, buildings with their ghostly inhabitants, and haunting history—building the intensity of the nightmare superbly. Kingsburg is watching…and waiting…calling. Kingsburg is an absolute treasure for psychological, paranormal, horror fans!
