A Short Trip to Hell by Carter Johnson
When Simon was twelve and living in a trailer, he did something drastic to survive. His best friend Caitlyn helped him and they kept it a secret all these years. Fifteen years later, with Caitlyn's life at an end, Simon must confront his past and return to the last place in the world he ever wanted to go: home.
Part "Stand by Me" and part "The Craft", Carter Johnson's second novelette is packed with heartbreak and hellfire!
CanadaSupernatural tale of woe
A bleak tale of two teens stuck in cycles of poverty and abuse. They turn to alternative methods to improve their situations, but is it worth the price? Grab this short tale of supernatural woe if you want to read a coming of age story entwined with magic and woe. I enjoyed the characters, but felt the story was just too short to really connect with them.
