The Brave Tale Of Maddie Carver (2010) - Plot & Excerpts
This is a classic short story; not a short (beginning/middle/end) version of what a regular story should be, but just a snapshot of a day in the life of a person living in the Downside-Ghosts universe.It features Maddie Carver (duh), who was part of the pre-BT Church on the very day that Haunted Week begins. It's a good story, it's a perfect example of what a short story should be, but I know that the structure is not everyone's cuppa.It fits the universe and I hope is a glimpse of what Kane could write if she wanted to do a prequel-universe type book or novella. Not bad, short and free. What's not to like? Set in the same world as the DOwnside Ghosts series.This was tiny, very short. I shelved it with my novellas, but its shorter than that. A glimpse of the start of Haunted Week, seen from the eyes of an elderly member of the Church.It kept my attention, was exciting, and really left me wanting a lot more. Kane knows how to draw you in. A nice little present for fans of the series - if you haven't read the series, you probably will be scratching your head, wondering what is going on.

Extremely short (8 pages) but interesting snippet during Haunted Week. I wish there was more!
