The timing is perfect for a slightly spooky paranormal tale such as this one.   It is a short read, but this author is quick to draw the reader into the slightly claustrophobic ambiance of an archaeological dig.   The climax of the story was filled with tension; the resolution was rewarding.   A wonderful tale for an October evening. ___  Tracy Cooper-Posey is a 2024 Aurealis Award finalist for best SF Novella and the author of over 200 published titles that blend romance, suspense, science fiction, fantasy, and historical intrigue.
