The Scream is a short story that will force you to run back to the bookstore or log on to your favorite online distributor and punch in the author's name to find every title listed. This was my introduction to Ms. Mosiman, and I will be making myself more familiar with her work in the days to come.This is an almost melodic story about the early days of a newly turned Werewolf. As you read this story, you won't be able to help yourself...the phrasing is so smooth that it will make the writer in you a shade envious or wash over the reader like a warm shower.If you enjoy literary fiction and do not believe that horror can meet you expectations, this short tale will prove you wrong. I've never read such well-phrased violence. So take a few minutes and introduce yourself to what horror can aspire to be in the hands of somebody who can turn a phrase and suck you into a story that becomes real and vivid around you.
