Review: SHORT HORROR STORIES VOLUME 13 by Ron Ripley 5



5+ Spooky Stars 

All three stories in this volume are by Ron Ripley. 

"The Hanging Tree": What a special--an exceptional--short story! Mr. Ripley's stories are always fine, but "The Hanging Tree" goes "above and beyond" in sheer horrific quality.  If the implacability of this terror doesn't frighten you--well, I feel sorry for you.

"Just For Fun": A successful criminal practices his "trade" by hiding near cemetery gates, robbing and humiliating innocent civilians.  This night,  he chose the wrong cemetery. 

"Late Night Studies": Excitingly terrifying,  with the implacability of horror that Mr. Ripley delivers so skillfully.  A young man with an ulterior motive takes a night shift security guard position at a local cemetery.  Certain aspects of this story when revealed may be upsetting to sensitive readers .
