About this ebook

Is she going mad or is a wraith truly stalking her? Find out the twisted truth in an eerie tale that begins and ends with the haunting verse from which the phantom emerged.

In “shades” of Gothic Romance and brooding Poe-etic atmosphere, her obsession will lead a woman to the very edge. Maud no longer can be sure what is real and what is fantasy after following and being followed by the ghostly man she has fallen for: a dark presence born of rhyme without reason. Why does he appear? What does he want with her? Days are given to wondering, unable to think of anything else as she attempts to unravel the mystery surrounding him. Is he a dream come true or a nightmare?

“The Wraith” can also be found in THE MACABRE MIND OF LORI R. LOPEZ: THIRTEEN TORMENTOUS TALES.
