Emergence is a supernatural-themed novella, that also delves into some horrifying human fears relating to aging, loss of a loved one, and loneliness.  Gary Fry has a beautiful writing style that easily evokes the intended emotions from the readers.  While parts of this story felt almost Lovecraftian in nature, I felt that the deeper issue at hand was that of the aging Grandfather, his relationship with his young grandson, and the tormenting fear of his own--possibly--deteriorating mental faculties.The supernatural element begs the question what else could be out there, and what exactly would they want to communicate with us.I could easily have seen this as a longer work, as there were several aspects that I would loved to have seen expanded on.  I am eagerly awaiting more stories from this author.
