The Gingerbread Man

Content

Dr. Candice Burke knew better than to stay late after teaching her evening classes. Especially one on the fourth floor like tonight’s English 140, Intro to Children’s Lit. Still, her car was parked right next to the old Humanities building, police officers patrolled the campus, and she was a quick study on the three flights of stairs, priding herself on her athletic prowess, even now that she’d turned forty. It was one of her favorite times of the fall semester. Midterms. The students were at their best, aiming to e...

Outstanding reviews

Shivers! Love this!
This is a top notch, magical story that keeps the reader glued to the text from beginning to end. No surprise. June Gillam delivers another great story as only she knows how to captivate her audience.
Interesting to get a request for part 2 of this story! Maybe the start of a novel?
Great story! You had me right away with the scary twist on the holiday classic.
What an intriguing story! It keeps me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end. A great read!
The ending, an unexpected twist, love a good scare. Wonderful lip biting story. Whew!!
Haha wow very charming and creative. Definitely didn't go the way I expected. You were able to transition from wholesome and realistic to fantastical and chilling. Really creative work. The alternative versions of the fairy tale were cool to read, and I guess you just wrote a new one.Thanks for sharing
I especially loved the multicultural versions of the gingerbread man folktale.
Story pulled me right in and in suspense the whole way through!
Quick paced and very tense, this read is definitely a roller-coaster-of a ride from start to finish. I was on the edge of my seat all the way through this wonderful read.
June, I agree with Bill VanPatten, shivers. You pulled me in and never let me go. I just had to turn the lights on to read it again. If readers like to be intrigued and scared, this is the story to read. Well done. Waiting for part two...
June, If readers like to be intrigued and scared at the same time, this is the story to read. (Make sure you don't need to drive home by yourself when you read this.) This story pulled me in and never let me go. I just had to read it again. Well done. I want more.
Nonstop read too to bottom. Glad I'm teaching on the bottom floor open to a courtyard!
So good! And so possible at this “familiar college campus.”
Scary!
