April 24 - May 19, 2023 Virtual Book Tour
A funeral can evoke sadness on the faces of those attending, especially when they reach the cemetery. Looking at those faces, I begin to wonder what they are thinking, and possibly what they are hiding.
As I scan the tombstones, I contemplate whether many of the faces behind these stones were wronged during their lives and I can hear them speaking to me. They want to tell me how they ended up here. Were they guilty of great evil in their lives, or were they wrongly accused?
Listen as they tell their stories, and chills will run down your spine as you learn: What lies behind the
stones, because each of these voices was silenced in life by the evil of others.
Hear their words...
understand their reasons...
and then decide:
Were the Accusations wrong?
Praise for Accusations:
"Fran Lewis's newest edition to her Faces Behind the Stones series is something you'll want to read during the day. If you get in bed planning on reading a few pages until your eyes become weary, it's not going to happen. You'll find yourself waking up more and more as the pages turn one by one and the secrets behind so many lives and souls are revealed. For anyone who contemplates death and all it might have in store us, including its raw inevitability, this is a must read."
~ Vincent Zandri, New York Times and USA Today Thriller and Shamus Award winning writer of The Remains, the Dick Moonlight PI Series, American Prison Break, The Embalmer, The Shroud Key, and his brand new novel Moonlight Kills
These amazing stories from Fran Lewis — like stories from Stephen King or The Twilight Zone — will captivate and haunt you long after you turn the last page. Lewis is a unique storyteller who opens the supernatural door for us to hear the dead tell their spellbinding tales and reveal their secrets. An unforgettable read!
R.G. Belsky, author of the Clare Carlson mystery series
Accusations is eerily captivating … thought provoking… a warning. The stories convey a dark, eye-opening theme—pay attention!
Fran Lewis dives into timeless issues with an almost gothic-style of story-telling that will keep you reading and feeling every story as it unfolds. Fran sends a message in her stories. Can you feel it?
TJ O’Connor, award-winning author of The Hemingway Deception
Once again Ms. Lewis has a hit with Accusations, the fifth book her Faces Behind the Stones series. It’s a surefire hit!
This is the most chilling of her books to date!!!
Karen Vaughan, author of Dead to Writes
Silent Voices speak from the grave in this gothic style collection of short stories by Fran Lewis.
If you ever felt wronged and thought of revenge, one of these characters in Accusations could do the job for you and do it well. And you might find you agree with me that some of the characters deserve what they get.
The atmosphere and characters feel real in these stories and you are drawn in to see what happens next. At times I was there with them in their GRAVES. I read the whole book in two short sittings.
Fran Lewis is one of my go-to authors for great short stories. As a short story writer and reader myself, I was fascinated by the fabulous imagery in this collection.
You will be enthralled by Fran Lewis’ talent. “The Grandmother” is my favorite. This grandmother outwits her three granddaughters and they don’t see it coming.
You can find more stories like these in Fran’s other books; Faces Behind the Stones, Bad Choices and Hidden Truths & Lies. Enjoy this read!

My Thoughts
Accusations by Fran Lewis were in my mind, very creepy. I read it in one sitting, glued to the pages until the end. The book comprises of a collection of stories from the Grave with each headstone telling the story of the person within the grave.
Each story tells of the person within, whether they were good or bad, each story about the wrongs done to that person or the wrongs they did to someone else. You know what they say about Karma. I would have to say that the story that I liked the best was The Grandmother, don't mess with grandmother.
If you like a quick read, a bit of a horror book, then give this one a try. I give it 5 stars just for the creepiness alone!
