"The Extractor" by Emily Walker was a 'reading group' challenge, I had no idea what would hit me when I started reading. It is a short horror story, starting with an unsuspecting victim in the dentist's chair finding a gruesome end. During the investigation of the disappearance of the victim the dentist strikes again, leading to a few great surprises for the reader and some very well written horror scenes.The story is great entertainment and Walker has a strong narrative, I enjoyed this more than I thought I would have, being particularly sensitive to dentists. The story is fast paced and my only criticism with it is that for my personal taste I would have preferred a few of the characters to take on more life before it is blown out of them. This probably betrays my preference for novels and does not reflect on the skills of the author, particularly the investigating Detective is a great character.This is fun if you like horror and a good read.
