Jason McIntyre has an uncanny ability to get under your skin in the space of a few sentences.Shed is a creepy, compelling story that pulls the elements of creature-feature horror together with the awfulness of abuse. It's told from the perspective of the younger of two boys trapped in a nightmare situation, and rips along from the first page.You root for these boys, and although the ending is very satisfactory it is also bitter sweet as McIntyre makes you wonder just what kind of adults they will make, and whether fighting darkness with darkness will twist them later in life.Recommended for lovers of horror, sci-fi, and dark fantasy.
