Bruce and his four-year-old son, Cody, are desperate for financial help after the death of Bruce's wife. In danger of being evicted from their one room apartment, the two embark upon a visit to Bruce's estranged mother, who lives in a mansion referred to as Elderwood Manor.This is where our story begins. The atmospheric tension is immediately felt, both physically and emotionally. Fulbright and Hawkes use the winter elements to the upmost advantage in setting the scene for this desolate tale of an evil that consumes all that it comes in contact with. The pacing was relentlessly fast--the tension never letting up.I only wish that we had learned a little more as to the background of the manor, and source of the evil, itself. The tale moved so quickly, that before I had time to digest one revelation, we were on to another scene.Overall, a good solid read where the "creepiness" factor was in play throughout the entire novella. Another hit for the Darkfuse novella line!Recommended!
