The HorrorChannel.com posted an early review of KINDED SPIRIT. Here’s an excerpt from the review:
“Passarella proves again that his is a strong voice in horror….[he has] a knack for creating scenes that resonate with readers. Many creepy moments are likely to stick with you for hours after you’ve finished reading.
“One of Passarella’s greatest strengths in this book is his characterization….[and] attention to detail… Passarella has taken obvious pains to provide accurate portrayals of every facet of his characters’ lives… as if he’s lived the life of a detective, a news personality, an [exhibit]-display builder, an auto-shop detailer, and a ghost hunter, using his matter-of-fact style to make the reader trust whatever he says without question.
“Kindred Spirit has a great deal to offer readers. [A] compelling story, with just enough creepy moments to keep any horror reader happy and at the same time intelligently examines many relationships not just between family members, but between the living and their departed loved ones. Overall, an excellent read.â€

This Washington Township, NJ library is having a 40th Anniversary Celebration and they have invited several authors to participate. I will be speaking, answering questions, possibly demonstrating ghost hunting gadgets. Afterward, I’ll move to a booth to sell, sign and personalize copies of K.S. along with any of my other novels I bring to the event.
MATTHEW NOTE: My son Matthew has 6 more radiation treatments left (out of 30); it would have been 5, but the machine broke on WED and he was sent home without treatment that day.
Until next time,
