The Becoming may just be a novella, but it has the glory of a full on novel. It's descriptive, captivating, and eerie. Set years before the main story, the Tonopah Coal Mine has an incident that causes the owners to close it off. Decades later a young boy named Tim McKenna hears about the incident and decides to investigate while playing hooky from school. From there a series of events lands his family in deep trouble.Dark, thrilling, and with no spaces where I found myself getting bored: The Becoming is a fantastic novella worth the read. Anyone who passes on this piece of work is seriously missing out.
