THE CHARACTERS
Hayden Moore:
…Tommy laid eyes on Hayden for the first time. The young man was handsome, with blond hair and green eyes, and something about him made Tommy hesitate for a second. He wasn’t sure what it was, just a tingle in the back of his head. Hayden smiled broadly, something that made that tingle even worse, and extended his hand…
… Tommy spun around, startled a little, and saw Hayden standing there in a pair of cutoff shorts and a tank top. His muscles were well maintained on his thin frame. His legs were strong and muscular as well. Tommy swallowed hard.
Tommy Law:
Standing at over six-foot-tall, with a shaved head and a gruff demeanor, people thought he was either a skinhead or a biker. He didn’t much appreciate either description. He was, in fact, a former army ranger. He’d worked Special Ops for about fifteen years and had deployed to countless places…
He still kept in great shape; his body was toned, and he was built like a quarterback. He kept up his army days physique by lugging around wheelbarrows full of cinderblock and other masonry. His large callused hands were rough from years of handling rifles and digging trenches, and they were kept that way by wood working and lugging around five-gallon paint buckets. Washing his hands in turpentine to get the paint off, didn’t help much for that matter…
…Hayden’s eyes grew wide at the sheer size of the man. He was muscular, no doubt about it, but not in the way pretty boys were. No, this guy was solid in the get in my way and there won’t be anything left of you sort of way.
THE STORY
Closer is such an incredibly told ghost/possession story in the great setting of Maplewood, Vermont, a small and quaint town with a dark history and awful, mysterious occurrences that keep coming back – except this time they’re here for good.

Hayden never stepped back into the courtroom and instead wen to Maplewood to restart his life.
As he needed a handyman to help fix the wonderful, historic home he purchased Hayden hires Tommy, an ex Army Ranger. Tommy came back from the Middle East and has also been trying to rebuild his life, except although he knows something is missing he doesn’t realize what it is until he meets Hayden.
Maplewood’s past holds a dark story of a crushed love and the poltergeist/demon/ghost that was conjured up by the preacher’s daughter when her lover is killed at the hands of his father. As her lover is killed she swears vengeance upon the town and conjures up the demon from the depths of darkness. It is this demon that is now bent on destroying the town for good and all those in it.
THE WRITING
The one thing that always stands out about Mr. Feely’s writing is the sense of reality.
There is an authenticity to his stories that I really enjoy. They are down to earth, with honest, everyday characters. His stories are a reflection of real life and they contain the full spectrum – gay, straight, male, female, young old – that is real life, folks. So refreshing and it is so enjoyable to read an honest ghost story told incredibly well!
I zipped through this book and now I want to read more by Mr. Feely. Try it, you’ll see.
