A Distant Drum
by Amy Rae Durreson
I'd never before understood the phrase "my blood ran cold." But three times reading this, I was frozen with fear, all the hairs on my body rigid, and I sat petrified in spite of the warm fire, warm lights, warm tea.
This is a really effective little ghost story, told with Durreson's signature ability to conjure a strong sense of place from a few significant details. Winter, a boat frozen in inland waters, an MC frozen in wintry memories, a ghost frozen in mindless malice. And, because it's Durreson, who does this sort of thing marvellously, there's a lover offering warmth and regenerative love with grace and humour.
