  Some reviews and comments by readers at Every Day Fiction.

  “I loved this–the writing, the pace, the detail, the word choices. A haunting tale with an underlying thread that stays with you. This is one of the best I’ve read here.”

  “Watch out for those imaginary beings... great tale, enjoyed it. If you like ghost stories, worth reading this short but chilly tale. Love the little scare tucked neatly into the final line, and an effective one at that.”

  “I'm not generally a fan of fantasy - not for adults, anyway. But this piece is very good indeed, creating an electric atmosphere from the opening lines.”

  “I thought this was brilliantly depicted. I want to see his noon lady angel too.”
