Review: The Palm Bride by Diana Hurlburt

Review of The Palm Bride by Diana Hurlburt (6768 words)
Luna Station Quarterly, Issue 033 : Read Online.

The Palm Bride is an evocative, historical fantasy story. I thoroughly enjoyed this. Hurlburt has a way with words, and her subtleties are wonderful. It's a post-war setting, in a beautiful house named Villa Reina, owned by Mrs Cobbs. Miss Randolph, from Seneca Falls, travelled to St. Augustine to figure out what ghostly activities were happening there. The Palm Bride, or more accurately, the Palmer's Bride, had been created, and what came was a spirit named Ada Nuit - mildly sinister, clearly powerful, and having a strange effect on the one man present in the story.

Like I said, very evocatively written. It was a clean, unambiguous ending. Read it, if nothing else then for the beautiful way it was written.
