Allan Leverone has become one of my favorite authors. I am slowly trying to read all of his work since falling head-over-heels for his book, The Lonely Mile. As of right now, I am reading his Paskagankee series, but I had his novella, The Becoming on my kindle and devoured it in one sitting.Although short, this book does not disappoint. I was sitting on the edge of my seat by the first chapter, experiencing the horror that unfolded page after page, biting my nails and a bundle of nerves! It's a mixture of sci-fi, horror, with historical background and some ghost stories thrown in. It's a perfect book to curl up with in front of a roaring fire with a thunder storm raging outside. Just make sure to keep a flashlight handy and a blanket to hide under when you hear noises that may not be...natural.I have yet to complete all of Leverone's books, but I feel safe in saying that the man can't write a bad story. The Becoming reminds me of when horror books and movies were scary - when what you didn't see was what kept you up at night. The author did a fantastic job!
