Carnacki’s Christmas Conundrum
William Jeffrey Rankin
ebook $0.99

If you like William Hope Hodgson’s Carnacki the Ghost Finder, then is will be an electronic stocking stuffer you’ll enjoy. William Jeffrey Rankin was written a tale in which Carnacki awakens in a room beneath the London streets. A note tell shim he’s been placed there by someone who was inconvenienced by Carnacki in a previous case.

Carnacki had met some friends for dinner and a drink on Christmas Eve and on his way out of the restaurant was invited to join a group of men. One of them slips him a Mickey.

Carnacki is trapped beneath the streets of London with apparent way to get out. He’s in a series of chambers with no exits. Although there are these large mirrors…

I thoroughly enjoyed this short story. There were some decidedly weird moments. Rankin gets Carnacki out of his trouble, of course, bu he leaves enough loose ends that I want to know what happens next.

Like I said, if you’re a Carnacki fan, this will make a nice gift for yourself. Carnacki’s Christmas Conundrum was just published yesterday, so it’s a gift to yourself you most likely haven’t read yet.
