I was fortunate enough to read an advance copy of this story.  Mr. Ratliff has created an intimate glimpse into what may be one of the most terrifying encounters I have ever read.  The story rolls like a slow tide not willing to break until the tension reaches it utmost pinnacle.  My only hesitation on giving this story five stars is that I really wish it was longer.  It works miraculously as a short story, however I would love to see the history behind many of the character relationships and the town itself expanded upon.  I want more!  Do yourself a favor, read this when it's light outside and you aren't alone.  Eerie, scary goodness.
