"Treed" is a short horror story by author Craig McGray. This Kindle e-book was approximately 30 printed pages and sold for $1.99 at the time of writing this review.Please Note: the author provided me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.General Theme (minor spoilers)Jack and Johnny are to two psychopaths that get off on killing innocent young women; usually with Jack doing the killing and Johnny doing the watching. While they normally work alone, circumstances have thrown their lot together as they seek their next prey. Remember the old adage about not pushing your luck...Some thoughts on "Treed"...1.) a well written and edited short horror piece.2.) some truly gruesome and gory occurrences and descriptions. Creepy and chilling!3.) the author has a nice sense of pace and timing... taking enough time to set up a scene but expedient enough to keep the readers interest.4.) from a horror point of view, an exceptional beginning and end sequence. If you love horror tales, this is truly the epitome of the genre.5.) a unique ending. Brilliant!6.) cover art... a confusing image on first glance. Made sense post-read I guess, but maybe not something to captivate the eye of a prospective buyer.Conclusion:A great tale that is gruesome in every respect.Horror storytelling at its best.As it is... 5 Stars.Ray Nicholsonraynicholsonsreviews@hotmail.com@ralannicholson
