As this is NOT a full book, I don't understand why some reviewers are in a tizzy. This is a short story and is advertized as one.I got lost in the feeling of being in The Lake along with the main character. I found the story to be engaging, though not horrifying. Really wanted a bit more explanation as to why they shouldn't swim in the lake, and a bit more information on what happened to her. If it was meant to be vague on that point, the author succeeded. But I tend to be more terrified of what I KNOW can happen. As it was, I wasn't sure if she became a man eating mermaid, a piranha or an alligator.This will not deter me from reading the other sample story from this collection and has not turned me off of buying the entire book.~Jessica A.
