More About This Book

Overview

In the summer of 1909, Solomon Mayfield awoke to find his mother and sister had disappeared. Left with his alcoholic and abusive father, Sol lived his life believing the story he'd been told, the story all the people of Varner Creek believed about what happened that summer. But in a plot of twists and family secrets that will leave the reader reaching for their jaw upon the floor, Sol is taken back to his childhood by the spirits he knew in life when he passes away so many years later . . . it is only then he learns what secrets The Ghosts of Varner Creek have been keeping so many years.

"Very well written . . . this debut novel is a real page turner with some very interesting characters."
- Jani Brooks, Romance Review Today

"As much a mystery as a family drama. This tale is very atmospheric with dark overtones that imply a paranormal gothic mystery." 5 stars
- Harriet Klausner, Amazon #1 Reviewer

MICHAEL WEEMS is married with children and lives in Houston, TX where he works as an attorney.
The Ghosts of Varner Creek is his first novel.

    Awesome read

    This is a well written story that twists and winds and leads the reader on a roller coaster ride of the main characters life and family horrors. The ending has a great twist that rips at your heart and wraps all the threads up compleatly if not tragically. Read it during our recent total blackout and it was a nice way to spend a quiet dark night. If you like mild horror of the real kind, semi historical type settings around the turn of the century then grab this book, sit down and get comfy 'cuz you won't be puutting this down til you're done

    Terrific book!

    This story was haunting and chilled me to the core. I couldn?t read fast enough to find out what happened to the characters. I was definitely hooked from the very beginning. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a great mystery.

    Creatively written

    Don't expect a typical ghost story. Ghosts play a special role, allowing this exploration of the human condition to unfold. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

    This is a masterpiece

    Michael Weems is one of those rare writers who defies readers to put it down, effectively structured that the reader can easily fall into its pages. Read it and weep

    Couldn't get into it

    I don't bash books that I don't enjoy, just let people know a yes or no really. I usually give a book about 50 pages and this one only held me to 32. Just not a good one for me.

    Really glad I gave this one a shot

    This is the first review I've ever written - it was that good. A great story line meshed together with a unique unfolding. No quessing in the end. Awesome twist! I didn't have this one figured out halfway through! Thank you, Michael Weems, for sharing your remarkable talent!

    Absolutely Fabulous!

    I have to admit that I read a lot! I could tell by the first few pages of this incredible book that I was in for a great read. There are certain writers that leave you with an "out of body experience". Mr Weems was able to do this. I was no longer sitting in my room, but felt that I was actually there floating around in his words. The characters, the scenes, the plot.....fascinating! Although it was a tragic story, it was believable and actually made me cry. I live for books like this, and I hope there are many more to come from this great author. Bravo!!!!!!!

    Great story!

    I absolutely loved this story! Told in a manner that kept my interest from the very beginning, I HAD to know what happens next and couldn't put it down. I greatly enjoyed the authors writing style and well developed characters that I could see clearly in my mind's eye. I found myself caring about them, they seemed so real. I look forward to more from Michael Weems and I highly recommend this book.

    It has been a long time (years!) since I have been unable to put a book down. What an intricate story. I will be looking out for more books from Michael Weems.

    Depressing

    I wanted to stop reading this book about 20 pages in, but then I just had to find out what happened next. In the end, I felt very depressed, not because the story was not good, but because the story was so sad. I love to read books over and over, but this, I will not read again. You may not find it depressing like I did. It did keep my attention and was kind of predictable, but over all, it was a good story.
