very good...keep you biting your nails waiting for the next book.

The Blackstone Chronicles are short novels. Each novel in the series revolves around an object with a connection to the old Blackstone Insane Asylum. People in the town receive these items and horror and mayhem follow. I am a fan of John Saul horror novels, and these are good as well.

Jules Hartwick had it all, a devoted wife, a lovely daughter, and a distinguished career as the president of the First National Bank of Blackstone, until he received a mysterious gift, a sliver locket. After the Federal Reserve audited the financing of the Blackstone Center, which was to rise on the site of the old Asylum, Jules became paranoid, accused his wife Madeleine of having an affair with his daughter Celeste's finance, Andrew. What became of Jules was tragic, part of a deadly chain of events for the Blackstone community. Who will be the unlucky recipient of the next mysterious gift from the evil dark figure?
A package containing a silver locket unleases a bloodcurdling chain of events....

excellent read

Re-read.
Things continue to go bad within the town of Blackstone. The local family-run independent bank, is in the midst of an audit, which has put a halt on the renovation of the old asylum into a shopping center. Jules Hartwick had been fairly positive about the outcome of the audit, as he hadn't done anything illegal, only gave out loans to some townsfolk in need that other banks wouldn't have. Plus his daughter was getting married to a man he more than approved of, someone who believed in banking the way he and his ancestors did, someone who would hopefully take over running the bank when he was ready to retire, thus keeping it in the family. Life was good.
But the Hartwicks have been targeted by the dark figure, who leaves a present in the car of Jules' wife Madeline. Jules found the locket wrapped up in his wife's car. As soon as he touched the locket something within him snapped. He accused his wife of having an affair and goes on an insane rampage. Before the end, he sends a message of warning to Oliver Metcalf that evil was all around them and that it needed to be stopped before it killed them all.
Yeah, lots more people are gonna die! This series is very creepy and equally thrilling.
