Product Description

Product Description

It's Christmastime in the city, but all is not merry. Something is happening in Apartment Seven. Something evil.

Charlie Cerrone thought he had it all—a loving marriage, a good job, a nice home and financial security—until the night his wife betrayed him and his entire world came crashing down.

Angry and confused, Charlie wanders the streets of Boston after dark, dazed and searching for answers, trying to figure out why his wife has apparently taken up with another man and why she's been frequenting a strangely ominous and otherwise abandoned building late at night in one of the worst neighborhoods in the city.

Throughout the cold winter night, Charlie descends deeper and deeper into a nightmarish journey that encompasses his past, present and future, a terrifying and surreal odyssey that leads him through the darkest alleys and most dangerous streets of a haunted city, and that will eventually put him face-to-face with the horrific riddle behind his own troubled existence and the shocking mysteries of Apartment Seven.

4.0 out of 5 stars A twisted take on A Christmas Carol. 29 Sep 2012
Format:Kindle Edition
This is the story of Charlie. He thinks his life is perfect until he finds out his wife has been unfaithful. He leaves her and his life begins to spiral out of control downwards. Then he learns she has been seeing a second man, someone who lives on the bad side of town. What is his secret and what is the secret contained within Apartment Seven?

This was an interesting novella. Over the course of one gritty and grim day we follow Charlie as he tries to make sense of what is going on. It borrows heavily from A Christmas Carol (which itself is featured in the story) but is much darker, and has a huge twist at the end. The authors writing is very descriptive and I found myself walking alongside Charlie as he chased down his demons. It was creepy in places and the pace was unrelenting. I recommend this as a great dark horror novella.

I received a complimentary copy of this novella in exchange for my honest review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't Even Hesitate 8 May 2012
By Richard W. Keeney - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
You buy books and stories by authors you trust. Because friends and colleagues with shared interests have assured you that you can trust this writer or that. That your investment is safe with one writer or another. If you're reading this you can assume that you and I are of a type. So trust Greg with my blessing. This one reminds me of Aickman more than Ligotti, but there's a little of both here; even a little Braunbeck flavoring, I think. It's a lot of big writing in a fairly short form. "Apartment 7" will stick in your craw like that last sliver of meat that just. won't. come. undone.

4.0 out of 5 stars A new holiday classic? 10 Dec 2012
By Chris McCaffrey - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
An anti "Christmas Carol" or a companion piece if you will. Dark and nightmarish in the way that only Greg Gifune can be. There are very few writers that can create an atmosphere like Gifune does. Similar to the Dickens story, filled with ghosts, some still living. And there is a timeless message here as well, a similar one, but with a modern (and horrific) treatment.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Christmas Carol goes Down the DARK Rabbit Hole 16 April 2013
By Deborah Blount - Published on Amazon.com
"In the dark, nothing remains the same."

Does evil spring out of madness? Or is the other way around...

Christmas in Boston; usually a time of happy, holiday cheer, but no sounds of joyful Christmas Carols here; instead, a dark bone-chilling tale of lost souls. Charlie Cerrone, had it all, until one night that changed everything. Charlie's wife betrays him, and not only does his world come crashing down around him, but it sets him off on a most strange, dark and surreal journey. A journey which transforms him from average guy to a man who enters into a nightmare world of ghosts (both past and present), along with a search for his wife and for his very soul.

Greg writes in beautiful prose-like deftness, a wonderful story-teller weaving a tale of utter darkness, with evil lurking in the shadows, and terrifying images of what sometimes lies buried in men's hearts. Charlie descends deep into the blackness of the city he has known for years, but now finds it almost unrecognizable; a disturbing rotting place where the night seems to produce an entirely different set of people, images and illusions. A descent into the maelstrom of the psyche.

A book that from its beginning has an amazing shift of not quite light; rather more of gray, and continues to become darker and more disturbing as we read. What this is, is a terrible, bizarre place of twisted reality. Dark alleys leading downward into pits of hell. An extremely gloomy version of "A Christmas Carol", with a mesmerizing, disturbing twist at the end that will leave you pondering your very soul.

LOVED it!
