I like books with a twisted but interesting plot. The best is that several stories are told and each if them has a great plot. I am not a fan of horror though so I might skip this one. Congratulations on making a book of the day.

While most stories in Jason Fischer's The Haunting of Towne Point Mall are engaging and well-paced, 'Tangled Web' falls short with a weaker plot, slightly affecting the overall quality of the collection.

I love the creative imagination often displayed in horror stories. A mall is a great place as a setting for horror tales because there are so many different ordinary things that can be made into scary objects.

Anthologies are always fascinating, and the fact that the stories are interconnected and gripping makes the book a must-read. I am wondering what 'Fan's Fiction' is about and what makes it very interesting. I have added the book tot my want-to-read shelf on OBC and look forward to enjoying the amazing short stories.
Many thanks for the informative review.

**The Haunting of Towne Point Mall** by Jason Fischer is an engaging and suspenseful tale that weaves elements of horror and mystery into a modern setting. Set in the seemingly ordinary Towne Point Mall, the story quickly takes a dark turn as strange occurrences and eerie events start to unfold, gripping the reader from the very beginning.

Fischer excels at creating a palpable sense of atmosphere and tension. The mall, a typically bustling and mundane place, is transformed into a labyrinth of shadows and secrets, where every corner holds a potential terror. The author’s descriptive writing brings the setting to life, making it easy for readers to visualize the eerie and unsettling environment.

**Rating Explanation:**
I rated this book 4 out of 5 stars because of its captivating plot and well-crafted suspense. Fischer's ability to build tension and maintain a sense of dread throughout the story is commendable. The characters are well-developed, each with their own backstories and motivations that add depth to the narrative. The pacing is generally well-balanced, with enough action and suspense to keep readers hooked without overwhelming them.

However, there are a few aspects that prevent the book from receiving a perfect score. While the plot is engaging, there are moments where the storyline feels somewhat predictable. Some of the twists and turns can be anticipated, which slightly diminishes the impact of the suspense. Additionally, a few minor characters could have been fleshed out more to enhance their roles and contributions to the overall story.

**Negatives:**
1. **Character Development**: Some minor characters lack depth, and further development could have enriched the narrative..


**Editing Quality:**
The book is well-edited with only a few minor errors that do not significantly detract from the reading experience. Fischer’s writing is clear and engaging, making it easy for readers to become immersed in the story.

**Conclusion:**
In conclusion, **The Haunting of Towne Point Mall** by Jason Fischer is a thrilling and well-executed horror novel that will appeal to fans of the genre. The book’s strengths lie in its atmospheric setting, well-developed main characters, and the persistent sense of dread that permeates the narrative. Despite some predictability in the plot and a need for deeper character development, it remains a compelling and enjoyable read. Fischer’s talent for crafting a suspenseful and eerie tale is evident, making this book a worthwhile addition to any horror enthusiast’s collection.

An author receives a book from a fan that reveals future events. Nancy's and her child's lives change at a mall. These short horror tales are unique and immersive. I loved your crisp review.

[Ingalwa Eugine]

Two things mentioned by the reviewer make me want to read this book. One is the pacing and length of the stories and the horror aspect attached to them. Second is the story of Chad's skin condition, which adds a lot of creativity to this book.

It seems incredulous to think that the haunting presence of the Towne Point Mall might be linked to digital possession by a spirit. Horror seems to be taking a new turn in the digital era!

I was always fond of the short stories format which allows to read them on the way, and I believe even though I no longer have to take long trips, the habit will get stuck after years of school and university. The short horror stories are just the thing to invigorate you in the morning and I certainly look forward to reading them considering the book has earned such great reviews.
