"Beware of things that go bump in the night."Robert, a 27-year-old rapist, has heard that advice before.  Every child is told that there are dangerous things in the night, monsters that prey on the unsuspecting.  Robert knows that all too well; he is one of the monsters that goes bump in the night.  It never occurs to him that there might be bigger things going bump in the night, bigger monsters, things that might be hunting him instead.I'd read some of Michael's other works in anthologies and really liked his writing style.  He's got a great knack for the supernatural, as seen in his bookDehumanized.  He has a keen mind for plot twists that he navigates masterfully, even in a short story like Number 18.Number 18 is a quick but fascinating read that leaves you both grinning and disturbed at the end.  Loring did an incredible job and I look forward to reading more from this author.
