Juniper's Shadow By Fiona Dodwell
EPub Juniper's shadow priest
F you ve ever followed my reviews you ll know that I m a fan of Dodwell s work I ve become friends with her via my coverage of her books full disclosure and I have to say she s only getting better. Juniper's shadowheart Lately she s been on a short story spree as Juniper s Shadow was preceded by the very excellent The Redwood Lodge Investigation She s been doing well with this format as short stories lend themselves very well to horror and I m excited to see what she will come up with next. Juniper's shadowed Juniper s Shadow takes a little while to get started since much of its horror derives from Leighton s imperfect relationship with his pregnant wife Jessica as the two constantly quibble about his dream to own a record store She s supportive but he feels like he s a failure since she s almost the main breadwinner Leighton wants so desperately to succeed that it d make sense that he d jump on something that d make a huge profit a record by Victor Marlowe a musician whose music has left a dark legacy A legacy so dark that there have been efforts to eradicate all remaining recordings of his work. Jupiter shadow transit This is where the horror comes in because as the story progresses there s this increasing sense of dread From the start Leighton is warned against purchasing the album although the seller isn t that reluctant to let it leave his grasp however he s lured in by its background and the idea of raising a large sum He quickly grows obsessed with researching the record and if you re familiar with Dodwell s writing style then you know that what Leighton is going to find will be dark indeed. Book Juniper's shadowrocket Overall I was rather pleased with this story It s not perfect but that s mostly because this is something that I think would have worked far better as a longer piece maybe as a novella or full novel We re left with far too many questions at the end of this and while some don t need to be answered I was just intensely curious as to the album s background This next part is a mild spoiler so I ll try to post it far enough down that those who want a spoiler free review can avoid it It does somewhat pertain to the piece as a whole and it s not a major spoiler if you re afraid of it giving away any large reveals. Juniper's Shadow kindle reader 4 5 stars Reader copy provided by the author Thar be spoilersThis isn t going to be a major spoiler but I couldn t help but wonder what the motivations were for the old man selling the record He was somewhat reluctant to sell Leighton the record but not so reluctant that he wouldn t have sold it There s this nasty sort of cat and mouse interaction where you can tell that he s baiting Leighton who likely wouldn t have otherwise shown any interest There are revelations at the end of the story that I won t divulge here but this was the main reason why I felt that this would work exceedingly well as a longer piece There s a dark nasty and entirely human force at work here along with the supernatural ones which is what makes Dodwell s work so horrifying because a large portion of the misery and darkness in her work comes from how people treat one another If you look back at her other work you ll see that while the supernatural does come into play it s only there because the involved humans invited it even if inadvertently I think that this is why I continue to really enjoy her work since I maintain that how humans treat one another is almost always the most terrifying aspect of horror It s why books and films like Richard Matheson s Hell House later adapted into the wonderful The Legend of Hell House work so well it has supernatural horror but most of it is a direct result of human interactions Horror Paranormal Mystery Fantastic story Horror Paranormal Mystery Music Book Horror Occult Lovers UNITE here Legends curses and evil forces at play beware This short story was gripping I found this story exceedingly sad dramatic and tragicbut it was OH SO entertaining and interesting I became obsessed with finding out what happened in the past and what would happen next Beware of phone calls from withheld numbers and take heed of warnings from your eldersThis story fulfills your interests wither you re a music lover a book lover an occult aficionado or just a plain old horror lover like me Ms Dodwell s story The Wassall from The Dichotomy of Christmas was also amazing so I cannot wait to find out what she has in store for us next Highly recommend this to all fans of modern horror Horror Paranormal Mystery Received from the author in exchange for an honest review via the Media Bitch Literary Agency on Goodreads2. Juniper's shadowave It s a short 31 page exercise in poor content and execution The writing itself is simplistic and repetitive without the ability to grab or keep your attention The character of Leighton is tepid and pathetic with no redeeming qualities to get behind and root for. Juniper's shadowed Then there is the editing which while not the authors fault can make or break a story and in this case failed miserably There are too many instances of poor proofing editing grammar and a general lack of responsibility of the editor to point out areas that needed improvement.
