They Are Everywhere

Short Story Press Presents They Are Everywhere by Matthew Kilpatrick“They Are Everywhere” is a story that combines the elements of the most spine-tingling supernatural horror with the funniest comedy. Never before have malevolent spirits, poltergeists and haunted houses been so funny. Make no mistake though, the terror is real; it’s the witless protagonists and their incredibly inappropriate reactions that give the story its humor. In “They Are Everywhere” you will encounter:• A pair of dimwitted and entirely earnest main characters• Three separate investigations into paranormal activity that do not go the way you might expect• An interesting back story for the two main characters, hinting at past exploits• Elements based on other famous and well-known stories of hauntings• Scenarios whose truth, whether supernatural or mundane, can easily be discerned by the reader if not by the protagonists• A final and interesting secret revealed to the reader if nobody else“They Are Everywhere” just goes to show that not only are ghosts everywhere, but so are those that would stop at nothing to capture conclusive proof of their existence. It’s only too bad that they miss several great opportunities to do just that and instead simply make fools of themselves. Too bad for them, that is; entertaining for us.
