Postscript: A Ghost Story Kindle Edition

by Barbara Avon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars (15)
James squeezed her waist to prove to himself that she was real, and when he spoke, the words matched the love that spilled from his heart; words that would haunt her for all of eternity. “I'm not afraid anymore.”

In the Fall of 1985, Jameson Brooks spends his days working for Frank's Moving. At night, he attempts to fill the void of an empty heart with one-night stands, fueled by alcoholic binges. Lina is a dancer, and a lonely spirit. She isn't interested in the advances of the handsome, yet rough bachelor that lives above her. Her demons still follow her. Her abusive husband's ghost lingers, along with that of a very shady newspaper editor. When Lina disappears, love fuels James' drive to discover the truth by using the clue hidden in the note he finds underneath his door. "Postscript" is a ghost story, a love story, and a story that will make you believe. It includes horror elements and flashbacks to the early 1900s in Prohibition Canada.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. - Pablo Neruda.

Barbara Avon grew up Italian in the Niagara Falls Region and attended Notre Dame High School, and then Brock University. In 1999, she moved to Ottawa to pursue work and has worked for two major Ottawa area magazines. Being a shy kid in school, she created stories in her head, and when her Grade 9 English teacher awarded one of her short stories an A +, she knew that she would one day write a novel.

Avon is a multi-genre author. She’s written Romance, Romantic Thrillers, Time Travel, Mystery, Horror, and Paranormal Romance. Her work appears in various anthologies including Steering 23 Publications, and Beyond the Levee, and her stories have been regularly featured on the Spillwords Press website. In October of 2022, “Revived” was chosen as “Horror Book of the Year” by the “Feed My Reads” community, and in February of 2025, "Sultry Is the Night", received the Literary Titan Gold Medal Award for Fiction. In April of 2025, Avon won the Editor's Choice Award for Literary Excellence from Reader's House Magazine. Her work has also appeared in Publisher's Weekly Magazine.

When she’s not writing, she’s experimenting in the kitchen with her husband, spends her time reading, and watching 1980s movies, and always lives with her characters in her head while working on her current novel. Avon has quoted: I believe in magic. Books are magic. Love is the most remarkable magic.

    How can one resist reading such a perfect dialogue:
    “They tell me that it's all worth it, though.”
    “What is?”
    “Love.”
    “How did we get here?”
    “You ran, and I chased you.”
    “No. How did we get here?” she asked, pointing to his heart.
    “You ran...and I chased you.”

    I enjoyed reading the unique language and text used to describe the characters and their actions to thin details. The writer is highly talented in placing the right word or using metaphors within the sentence to precisely describe situation and emotions.

    This is the second book I've had the privilege to read by Ms. Avon. Like QWERTY, she gifts us the magnificence of her masterful prose, By using this tool, she creates memorable and believable characters in brilliantly executed fantastical situations. She paints bold pictures with her brush like the true artist she is by use of lush words, putting them into an order that not only makes sense but renders the entire piece poetic. A true gem!`

    5.0 out of 5 stars Bam. Love that ending.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2023
    Format: Paperback
    Avon’s Postscript is a tough book to review because it comes with a twist that takes it from the standard “Boy and girl meet and fall in love and then some stuff happens but it all works out in the end” and turns it into something more magical. Not magic as in pulling rabbits out of hats, more like magical in the way things are not always as they seem but really they are it’s just that you’ve been seeing them wrong.

    It’s part romance and part ghost story and overall a lot of fun with an absolutely perfect ending.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Haunting
    Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2022
    Format: Kindle
    "Postscript" is the second book I've read by Barbara Avon and she's actually starting to convince me that I may like the romance genre (especially paranormal romance) a lot more than I ever thought I would. Main characters James and Lina are two people from abusive pasts that have left them both emotionally scarred and doubting their ability to ever find true happiness. Yet, through a beautifully balanced exchange of personal stories and secrets, the couple does discover the meaning of love. The ending to this story is quite bittersweet, and I won't give it away except to say that haunting hints are cleverly woven throughout the entire storyline. Brilliant! A highly recommended read for all fans of paranormal romance.

    Barbara Avon pens a most unusual romance. In Postscript Jameson falls for Lina. I read the entire story before I realized what the title truly meant. This is an unusual take on a romance and one I didn't see coming. I loved it very much.

    Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2022

    Barbara lays down words in a way that made me keep wanting to turn pages. There's almost a detective noir feeling to it. She also throws in some great lines from time to time that just set the mood: "It was a lonesome man's fiction."

    I liked it a lot.

    2.0 out of 5 stars Purpley, and frankly a bit disturbing
    Reviewed in Germany on April 18, 2020
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    I bought this book because it was recommended to me.

    Unfortunately, although the first chapters were interesting, the rest disappointed me. The purple prose and the cliches are just too many. Practically every third sentence is a literary cliche. The sky "rips open" at regular intervals at crucial moments. Some words are used wrong (can you really "evict" teenagers from your doorstep, when they're just sitting there?) and the reactions of the characters seem forced and the relationship too quick. The two lovebirds are acquainted for a sum of 5 minutes or so before the lady starts telling him her darkest secrets. Also, their interaction is, frankly, disturbing. She says no to a date with him, then he shouts at her because she has to "be nice to him" as in, reject him with a thank you, forces himself into her doorway, half-drunk. She's been abused before and is obviously scared. What does she do then? She goes to his place and apologizes. He grabs her again a couple of times, pushes her against the door. We're meant to believe this is romantic.

    As a woman, I just find it disturbing and romanticizing of machismo. I read about half before I couldn't anymore.
