About this ebook
The force of nature, force of death, force of consciousness. A short story of Agatha Ashfield who explores the spiritual realms of ghosts. Come meet Falling Water, the ghost beneath the hickory trees on Mohawk River.
Agatha Ashfield, a wise woman in her late years, has long been fascinated by the power of Nature. She meets a ghost called Falling Water who dwells beneath the hickory trees by Mohawk River. As Agatha seeks her destiny, she struggles to overcome her fears of her impending death, find a path to trust goodness and the power of Nature, and release her everlasting consciousness. This is a short tale of mystery, love, passion, and spirituality.
REVIEW "After reading the story I was left in deep thought, wondering how my own journey at the end of my life will be. I felt comforted and curious, with deep appreciation for energy as it is manifested in the spirit world and afterlife. Wild Darkness is enjoyable and packs the impact of a full-length novel into a short story – the work of a skilled author. Highly recommend." Sheena Monnin, author of the science fiction novel Leaving Safety.
REVIEW "Paula Cappa has a way with words and style, and Wild Darkness is no exception. Fluent, descriptive, mysterious, and yes, at times creepy, it is an unusual ghost story. An old woman nearing death yearns to encounter the ghost that has appeared to her frequently since childhood; but when Falling Water appears, what will she bring? Lovers of ghost stories won’t want to miss Wild Darkness." Andrew M. Seddon, author What Darkness Remains, In Death Survive, and forthcoming The Deadliest Sins.
