It begins with a gravestone being left outside his neighbours house, seemingly as a practical joke but events quickly escalate to bloody murder and the gravestone disappears...only to turn up outside somebody else's home and so the cycle begins. Cawthorne builds the tension and fear within the community and the reader simultaneously and the climax is gripping, terrifying and disturbing (I'm going to be checking for a gravestone outside my house for weeks now!). A superb short story that could easily be developed into a full length novel without losing any of its effect

Great story by an outstanding author of suspense utilizing a unique twist with flair and imagination. If you thought walking past a graveyard was frightening, wait til the grave comes to you! Highly recommended. Hopefully, Crawthorne will see fit to expand this into a full-length novel, and further develop his protagonist for all our enjoyment.

A grave randomly appearing in a neighbor's garden, an event that shocks the island, a mystery that terrifies the town...this story had me engaged from beginning to end! The plot was perfectly suited to the short story format, but I could see it being expanded into a longer novel as well. The writing was appealing and it was hard to put down. A fun read!

Excellent. I'd like to see what Cawthorne could do with a longer piece.

Cawthorne has a good professional writing style. My only question has to do with plot. He's set his main character up as different from everyone else in town, a quiet, down trodden hero-in-waiting filled with inner strength. Simple rules of follow through say he deserved an ending that set him apart as well. He's just not the kind to get in line. My hero wants a new ending that lets him be all he can be.

As a horror author I must say that Cawthorne's book Graves is the kind of short horror that I hope I can achieve. I recommend it 100%

I am quite particular with my Horror and up until today only the the Great Steven King would do. All others have left me feeling as if I just ate a huge meal and for some reason..eh,
I'm just not satisfied.
This Author is very talented and sure to be one of the best. This book is extreemly well written. Justin Cawthorne will definately satisfy your cravings for excellent Horror and still manage to keep you hungry for more!
