The Imposters of Badington Bay by Robert E. Kearns is a short yet very entertaining story. My literature professor used to say that the perfect short story is like a slice of life; no matter how you look at it, it’s complete and concise. This story is a perfect example. The story flows at a pace that keeps the plot going; my interest was built the moment Mr. Chelmsford was introduced and I knew I needed to know what he was doing in a town like this. While no time period is mentioned, the style of the narrative and the dressing of the characters are a clear indicator of the historical era and I think the author handled it all really well. A quick read that I enjoyed a lot!

Book Description:
Badington Bay, a quaint seaside hamlet lies quiet in the off-season, its vibrant summer charm shuttered and still. Into this ghostly coastal town steps Mr. Chelmsford, a sharply dressed gentleman with a hidden agenda and a purse full of promises. Arriving under the guise of sophistication, he seeks a clandestine arrangement orchestrated by a crooked, cunning local and his enigmatic daughter. But as the chilly winds of November sweep through the harbor, Chelmsford’s carefully laid plans unravel in a chilling encounter that defies reality itself.
In this gripping tale of deception and supernatural intrigue, The Imposters of Badington Bay weaves a haunting narrative of greed, betrayal, and otherworldly forces. Will Chelmsford outwit the eerie duo lurking in the shadows of this dark seaside town, or will he become another lost soul claimed by its secrets? Perfect for fans of gothic mysteries and unsettling twists, this short story will leave you questioning who—or what—truly walks the streets of Badington.
