Heather Farm by Dorte Hummelshoj Jakobsen
2.0
Dorte Hummelshøj Jakobsen, Heather Farm (Dorte Hummelshøj Jakobsen, 2011)
Jakobsen turns in a short (16 pp., give or take) ghost story light on character development, suspense, pacing, etc. In other words, the things that make any piece of fiction worth reading. The plot is decent, and reasonably well-executed, but a good plot in a badly-written story (and one that could have used a good editor, which is especially distressing given that the writer is an English teacher in her native Denmark) is not nearly enough. * ½
