Praise for Specters & Spells:
“In Patricia Flaherty Pagan’s Specters and Spells, the stories are short…and the mood is spectral, though never gory. These tales of ghostly revenge, otherworldly visitors, and magical revelations evoke the slow-burn chill of classic horror by Edith Wharton and Shirley Jackson, scaring by suggestion. Some standout pieces test the edges of genre: the 80s-teen-flick-turned-dark vibe of ‘Friends Forever,’ the disquieting haunted hotel of ‘Wraith of Pyeongchang,’ and the feminist magical realism of ‘Gather the Ashes of Imperfect Women.’”
