I like this, more than I thought I would. The author has a knack of getting under the skin of his characters. I knew George, I'm sure everyone has met a George. His eccentricities grew seemingly stranger and stranger until at the end we get the twist. Nicely done! With the short story finished, Robert DeCoteau gives us a sample of his novel, Don of the Living Dead. Now, normally I don't like this - not sure why, I just don't. I like to read the short, and go find more works by the author if I want to - not have it thrust upon me. But, in this instance it works. The novel opens almost as a continuation of the short. Again, he creates real characters, with real reactions, and ends with me wanting more.
