Dark Ride: A Novella
Formats: E-Book, Paperback
Some criminals have all the luck, but Marty’s is about to run out…
Marty Wedlow needs one last score before he can skip town. It’s only a matter of time before two thugs he swindled point a finger… and their guns in his direction. But even when Marty is brought to the police station for his latest crime, he’s not worried. Marty is incredibly lucky.
After dodging the long arm of the law yet again, Marty looks for another illicit payday at a local amusement park. What he finds instead is a mysterious stranger who prophesies that his lucky days are running out. He ignores the warnings as he pursues a vicious conquest. But good fortune is a wheel, and Marty is about to find out what happens when it spins in the other direction.
Dark Ride is a supernatural thriller in the vein of The Twilight Zone. If you like eerie amusement parks, pulse-pounding page-turners, and a touch of the paranormal, then you’ll love P.G. Kassel’s electrifying novella.

Reviews
This is a nice piece of smooth storytelling that is always moving forward with clarity and confidence. It is a novella and not a novel, and is well-worth reading. In my reading experience Stephen King was the first “modern” writer of scary horror / supernatural tales. Several other writers tell stories that could well have been written by King. Phil Kassel has joined them.
I really didn't want this story to end but the ending itself was spectacular (no spoilers here). This was one of the best "what goes around comes around" stories I've read. An excellent cast of characters with a low-life bad guy you love to hate. More like this please!
