About this ebook
In this suspense-filled, neo-monster, horror novelette, a writer named Gene Winfield discovers an ominous, handwritten book among the belongings of his late, adventurer aunt.

Near the roaring fire in his aunt's otherwise cold, empty manor, Gene begins a story of his own, but will he unleash more than his imagination…

Reviews for The Remnant

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Gene Winfield is a best selling author but the lately, his books are no longer selling. When his book tour suddenly gets cancelled due to lack of enthusiasm and his aunt Hazel has recently died leaving him the sole heir, Gene retreats to Hazel's home to regroup where he begins to write.
When I first finished this book -- my first thought was, "How Creepy!" When I was a kid, there was an horror anthology series which would air late on Saturday nights called "Thriller" -- each show would start with a spooky haunted landscape and then a hand would come up from the earth with a bone chilling Boris Karloff type of voice intoning "Thriller" as the hand was reaching out. Creepy! That is the feeling I got when I finished this story. Highly recommend.
The narrator, Rick Barr, had a wonderful tone and was able to embody the eerie feeling the story created.
