Rating: 4 out of 5

Kealan Patrick Burke's latest novella, THE TENT, is a superb tale of a marriage falling apart amidst nature run amok.  There are only a handful of characters in this gem, but each one is developed extremely well, so that you feel for them and hope they can work things out and survive their camping ordeal.  But then something unnatural enters the picture, and Burke pulls out all the stops to bring you an up-close-and-personal view of an aberration of nature taking things into its own hands, errr claws?  I would have given this superb tale a full five stars, but I think the ending didn't work for me, when the plot veers away from the forest and to...civilization, as a whole.  But that's just my take.  Solid 4-1/2 stars for Burke's fantastic story!
