I read this short story immediately after Sour Candy. A tough one to measure up to as far a creeps go.
I guess this wasn't really meant to be horror, but more of a dark look at grief.
It was pretty good.

A beautifully written short story. I thought it would be more about the ghosts but it was more about the man dealing with his loss. If this is the way the author writes his other books, I'll definitely be reading them.

A very nice short creepy horror story, didn't run on too long, managed to get to the point and keep it going until the conclusion. And after such a depressing story it was nice to see a happy ending too.

Another brilliant little story from KPB. I hesitate to call this horror so much as it is paranormal, but I think it could easily appeal to fans of both, so for all intents and purposes, etc. This story blends Kealan's particular brand of creepiness and sorrow that I've come to love so much, packing an incredibly well-rounded story into just a few pages and culminating in what I thought was a bittersweet but ultimately very satisfying ending.

This Kindle short story was free. Thank you, Mr. Burke!
This short is a poignant one. I could feel the pain of the protagonist who lost his wife in a gruesome car accident. That wasn't all he lost. But what can he do to make things right again? Read it and find out.
This author is a master at making you feel whatever he wants you to feel. In this story, he shows off that talent yet again.
Highly recommended!

2020: The Grief Frequency
Short and not so sweet, The Grief Frequency tore what is left of my cold black heart right out my chest. Our main character is forced to live through the hardest days of his life. Its beautifully haunting and a light sigh of gratitude escaped when it was over.

The Grief Frequency is a short story by Kealan Patrick Burke, and in all honesty, it’s the saddest thing I have ever read by him. He normally does brutal, in your face horror, but this was definitely a lot different.
The story is about a man named Paul. Paul was in a car accident with his wife and father-in-law. Two of them survived, one did not. Now Paul is haunted by the memories of what happened that night. Grief overtakes him, and when he learns of something he did not expect, the sadness and guilt he feels becomes overwhelming and he decides it’s time to end it all.
What happens is not quite what Paul wanted, but by the time the story ends, Paul seems happier than he has since the accident.
The ending made me feel even sadder, though. It was a really angsty and depressing short story. And if you have triggers, you may not want to read this. Just a warning.
Not a bad story, but I think I’ll stick to KPB’s horror novels now for awhile instead.
