Beecham Manor – Never published before. A ghostly tale from Cornwall. Sometimes Sacrifices need to be made – Previously published story Review:By DiogenesThis is a very short tale, but nicely put together.

Review:By Angel Marie JobeI really liked it the way the drama and suspense keep going and going it was one of the coolest books I’ve read in a long time By Karen MassariThis piece did not come across as a short story, it was more like a bold painting.

The Rape of Suzy J – Never published before. Chilling tale of rape and murder. Cyber Scream – Never published before. A story about misplaced jealousy. Tudor Witch – Previously published story.Review: By Lord D. M. Prosser (UKLet me say straight away that Charmain Mitchell is an expert at description. By the time I’d heard how Kezziah looked I had no problem in visualising her.By the time I’d finished the story and had read the description of what acts she had to perform I wasn’t sure I’d ever sleep again.This book ‘Perpetual Hell’ manages in it’s few short pages to cram in more than many full novels do but believe me the heroine is not someone you’ll cheer for. Despite the great love she’s meant to hold all I could remember was that her smile didn’t reach the eyes.I’m certainly not sure I’d want a youngster reading this but no doubt they’ve all heard worse at hallowen. I am sure though that most young adults will enjoy the style of this young writer and the fifteen minutes of pure hell the reading gives them. The Man in the Mirror – Never published before. Tale of a fragmented mind. Food for Thought – Never published before. A tasty tale of fear. The Beings – Never published before. A story of a blood lust that will consume the world. Throughout her life, Charmain has wanted to become an author, but family and business commitments stood in the way and her writing consisted of a few short stories on the rare occasion that she had time to write them. In late 2012 a freak accident finally allowed time for Charmain to indulge in her passion for writing. website: www.charmainmariemitchell.com or blog: http://CharmainMitchell.blog$0.00$8.49 -
