“E.L. Giles’ “The Hearses” is an awesome, brilliant addition to his short story “Will-O’-The-Wisp,” (freely given to his newsletter subscribers)! To be honest, I had no idea where the story itself might go after “Will”; and, indeed, Giles turns the whole thing literally on its head, going for the haunted house trope, never forgetting where it all began and where the evil originated. The main character is again a family man, though one who can’t handle the loss of his son. When the child’s murderer is released from prison, the father’s grief grows more and more complicated; in an attempt to care for the rest of his family (his wife and two daughters), he buys a new house and prepares to move his family into it. Guess whose house it is! Things turn dark very fast (the Amityville House vibes are present in this story as well), but there’s a really interesting twist in the end that hits harder than the short story! It’s a fitting, though a bit unexpected, tragic end to the novelette. This is a must-read for haunted house horror fans!” – Amazon Review

“Grief horror at its most terrifying!
I love a good haunted house tale and this novella delivers. Cold breezes with no source, phantom odors, blood stains that can’t be painted over: Their Hearses hits all the right horror notes. The main character, Marc, is a grieving father who brings his own ghosts to a house already teeming with them. It’s an intense mix as dark forces find the perfect agent to continue their cycle of supernatural violence. I highly recommend this book. No matter how much you dread what comes next, you won’t be able to put it down.” – Amazon Review

“Heartbreaking Haunted House Story
It is a sequel to his short story, Will-O’-The-Wisp. The evil spirit in it feeds off grief and drives people to do the unthinkable. I enjoyed how emotionally charged this haunted house story is. It really touches on the power grief has over people. The ending has an unexpected twist too! I couldn’t believe it went in that direction. I highly recommend this book!” – Amazon Review

“Couldn’t put it down!
While the story can seem a bit confusing at points, it all comes together beautifully to really put you in the head space of the main character. I finished it in about two days only being able to read it in the evenings. Their Hearses is wonderfully written and so worth the read. It’s a great spooky story!” – Amazon Review
