Sunday With Scribner: Defining Family

NEVER FEAR AGAIN by Joshua Scribner is one of the author's full-length stories, and also one of his very best. Scribner offers readers a family drama in the form of a paranormal suspense-thriller, spilling over with emotions.

The setup is a little on the slow side, but necessary to accurately portray the normal personalities and relationships among the family of four, before everything goes to hell. The alternating POV between Roland, Kim, Nate and Mark gradually unravels the mystery wrapped around the house they recently moved into, without being predictable in any way. Last but not least, Scribner delivers a savage and haunting ending.

This is far more than a haunted house story. This is a tale about the extremes a parent will endeavor for his or her child...even if it's at the expense of another child's well-being, or the cost of a marriage. Spouse vs. child, lust vs. love, will power vs. magic.

As always,
