This review is courtesy of topoftheheapreviews(dot)comJohn Grover sure knows how to make things horrifying in quick order.  A mishap in preparing a dead body for viewing at a funeral home allows the mist that hangs in the woods around town to sneak into the body of the deceased and inhabits her flesh and becomes her host.  The body then begins to attack the two morticians, with Mathew, newly moved to the town, witnessing this for the first time.Action and terror are quick, and the pace is picked up right after the first page and is relentless.  While only 20 pages in length, this story will be over before you know it.He tries to create a bit of family dynamic with a family member being in inhabited, but that doesn't come off as well as you would think.  The scenarios created are more of the central focus than the characters, so you don't really get the time to make much of a connection.The Bottom Line:  Quick to the punch and quick to terrify, The Disembodied is filled with chills that leaves a lot of questions unanswered.  However, there is a companion story in the book of short stories that this is in if you want to learn more about the cursed town on the edge of Murk woods.
