review 1: I wasn't overly impressed with Monellon's novella Nathanial's Window, but not enough so to not give the author another chance. And I'm glad I did. Monellon does much better with long form, Meany was a very solid effort, well written, excellent characterizations. It's possible there was actually too much going on on the Barnes farm, domestic abuse alone and dealing with it would have made for a compelling story, but author threw in ghosts of two different kinds and all their unique ghostly ways. It all worked though, made for a pretty entertaining and very quick read (3 hours only). If you're new to the author, definitely start with this one.
review 2: This is a book you do not read before going to bed! Unless you are okay with dreaming about Indian Ghosts and ... morecrazy fathers and sweet little girls you want to protect to the ends of the earth. Just don't drink the water on this farm! before saying good night and traveling down that path of weird and crazy. Sad thing is, I truly believe this is how it was (and may still be in some homes) for some children. I just so wanted to reach through the pages of this book and tear this dad a new one each time he even spoke to his children. And the horror the eldest took! Oh my goodness. It is a wonder she got out of this one alive. I just could never figure what the cover art meant who is that supposed to be? That does not depict the children. It does not depict the creep either that comes in and makes their lives miserable. BUT it got my attention and was creepy enough that I bought the book sooooo it worked. Anywho. This book is down right creepy and will give you the willy's good thing we don't have basements or cellars where I live. We do have Indian's though and plenty of old folk lore to go with it. So with the knowledge of the abuse I have seen and heard about and with the enough reading of Ghosts etc. This one was well written, the characters well described and drawn out. You never got lost and it made sense where this story took you. It was inventive and just creepy enough. I really liked it and highly recommend it! I will post the same on my goodreads account to spread the word! Great book!.... less
