The After House by
Michael Phillip Cash is his new ghost story. An after house is in the deckhouse
nearest the stern of a ship, a place when the men go to stay of the elements
and was said to the safest place on the ship. An old house on Long Island holds
many secrets as it could a safe haven or a tomb.
The story begins with Captain Eli Gaspar, sailing off the
coast of Puerto Rico, 1840, is hunting whales. He’s been at sea for 13 months
and he thinks about all he has missed. When a whale they are hunting rams the
ship, destroying it. Captain Eli is left adrift. Flash forward to 2014, Cold
Springs Harbor, Long Island where Remy Gallway and her daughter, Olivia are
settling in to their new house. Olivia feels as if someone is watching them as
strange things happen around the house. Rooms left in disarray, the electric
goes on and on and a strange orb is seen around the house. The audience learns
that Captain Eli is in the house and is trying to get Remy and Olivia to leave.
He soon realizes that they don’t scare easily until someone tries to kill Remy
on multiple occasions and Eli feels very protective. He tries to warn Remy of
the coming danger.
I enjoyed this story as it has a great mystery about what happened
to Eli after his ship was destroyed, what happened to Eli’s wife and children
and who is trying to kill Remy. The resolutions of all three mysteries were
excited and something I did not expect. This book was a fast read as it held my
attention and had me eagerly awaiting the next piece of the puzzle. This is not
a ghost story that is out to scare or frighten its audience. It is simply a
mystery which involves a ghost who is searching for his family as well as
protecting the one in his house. I highly recommend it.
