First let me beging to say that Isis Sousa is a quite talented artist http://www.isissousadesigner.com/ but by her own admission in the afterword to the book she is not a writer and thats noticeable.

 

I cant help but think with the intriguing basis for a plot she has going if she had collaborated with a more skilled author things could have been different

As it is now you can hint at what could have been. That is not to say its awful.

 

The gothic atmosphere was really good. I just wish there had been more...something

 

I cant really say much about the plot because there is not much of it and were I to mention more it would spoil the twist to the story. And what was Leonhards connection to the mansion?

The XIIIth hour at Duskland (Stories of ... The XIIIth Hour at Duskland is an introductory short story to my upcoming illustrated anthology Stories of Duskland.

This first work was published in advance as a way for me to experiment and experience what is like to publish a fiction work. It was published so I could learn about the market, improve my writings and understand what motivates fans of Dark Fiction.

While I am finishing the short stories for “Stories of Duskland”, I present its main characters Leonard, Elisa, Dr. Charles, Giorgio, Gerania and Iphigenia to you.

The XIIIth Hour at Duskland was written directly in English, rather in my primary language, Portuguese, so much of the story wouldn’t be lost in translation.

The 2nd Edition is professionally edited, and I counted with the help of great beta readers to help enhancing the read!

I invite you to know the mystery behind Leonhard’s beautiful guest. Would you dare take this trip? There’s so much more than what meets the eye…
