What I’m Reading: Mr. Cables by Ronald Malfi

Synopsis: “For bestselling horror novelist Wilson Paventeau, the scariest novel of his career is one he didn't write. It bears his name on the dust jacket and contains his bio near the end, but this enigmatic tome is not part of his oeuvre. And the most frightening thing about it may not be the tale between the covers, but the reason for its mysterious appearance in Paventeau's life.”

My take: A quick, eerie read. "Ghost written" takes on new meaning in this 82-page novella, which I inhaled in one sitting.

The mystery is center stage here, and the reader feverishly follows along with a sense of dread because we must know the how and why.
