A review by truantmemphis
Specters Anonymous by Phil Budahn

5.0

I recently finished Specters Anonymous, having purchased it directly from Mr. Budahn at the Imaginarium Convention. This book receives 5 stars as an extremely well done indie novel, from packaging to plot to narrative. Having created a strong premise to play with, Mr. Budahn has given himself plenty of room to roam with this series. The main character, Ralph, is sympathetic and likable, along with most of the supporting cast. If I were to offer any negative reaction to the story, it would be what felt like a limited number of environments. The characters bounced back and forth between the same locations quite a bit. Other than that, which was a really minor issue (and certainly not the first time I've read a story where this happens), I thoroughly enjoyed the book. Hence posting a 5 star review.

The prose is accessible, with plenty of well-turned phrases and humor. This is a quick read, and although the introduction of a series, a complete story within itself. Here is a link to Mr. Budahn's website if you would like to have a look: http://www.spectersanonymous.com/home.html
