theartolater's review against another edition
5.0
I'll come out and say it - at this point, I'm not sure I like sort of traditional horror storytellers as much as I've been enjoying the output of Brhel and Sullivan.
Her Mourning Portrait is a collection of short paranormal tales, but this time with a bit of an angle toward romance and relationships. The result is a lot of short and simple, yet compellingly sophisticated stories that have a tendency to stick with you well after you're done.
Favorites included "Side by Side," which involved a widower and his dead wife's first lover in a twist-filled romp, and a geocaching tale that kept me guessing even though I was positive I knew what was going on.
My first foray into Brhel and Sullivan was the quirky Mavelry collection, and the way they've grown as writers is evident as they spread their wings here. As always, I can't wait for what comes next.

This was a very well written set of short stories. It is different from the other books from these two authors though. Their other works have more of a Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark vibe. This one is more of an emotional journey with some paranormal twists thrown in.
I was actually surprised by how much I enjoyed this set of tales as they were not my normal type of read. But the way the stories were told kept them very engaging and got me feeling really connected with the characters.
I would recommend this to any fans of John Brhel and Joseph Sullivan's previous work.
