    About this ebook

    An old man, living out his twilight years alone, for whom life has become difficult, and in more ways than one. A burden he must endure, and one he doesn’t understand. Why has he lived so long? After a visit from his great-granddaughter and her children, he is surprised when a dog wanders to his house. A dog he has seen before, and it seems to the old man like a visit from an old friend. The old man will soon discover that there is a reason why the dog has come back, and that the deliverance he has sought for so long is finally at hand.

    Author

    Richard Raven

    Richard Raven, who also writes under the name Jackson Sullivan, embraced horror in all forms at an early age. An avid reader, he is a fan of such writers as Stephen King, James Herbert, Clive Barker, John Everson, Edward Lee, and many others. He writes simple ghost stories, tales of hard-edged and blood-drenched horror, and murder mysteries, going to whatever dark place the inspiration takes him, so his readers are never quite sure what to expect from him. Richard lives in the southern U.S, not far from a home that has an old tombstone (an actual grave) in the front yard, and along a stretch of highway well known among the many motorcycle enthusiasts who ride it each year. He revels in the legends and ghost stories that abound in his part of the world, all of which fuels his overactive imagination, and he leaves to his readers to decide if that is a good thing or not.
