Review: Effective in its haunting and direct simplicity. Excellently crafted.

I wish I could say something about The Tunnel that hasn't already been covered in the other 5-star reviews. Really, all I can do is wholeheartedly agree with the accolades already bestowed upon the author and the story. Nevertheless, I do feel compelled to restate one thing that others have said in various ways. Short stories (even really great short stories) come and go. Some stick around in the back of your mind longer than others but, eventually, most of them fade off into oblivion. This one, I believe is different. Due to the author's explanation of the unexpected and haunting nature of the tunnel, I dare say there's a good chance this short story will take up permanent residence in a shadowy corner of your subconscious. Then it will, upon occasion, crawl back up into your consciousness, tap you on the shoulder, and whisper, "Are you sure you want to go there?"Gary Val TenutaAuthor ofAsh: Return of the Beastand the award-winning short,A Bite Out of Time - (A rock-n-roll vampire tale with a time travel twist)
