Review: A Very Entertaining Horror Story
Rating: 4 out of 5

In this horror story by Terry West, the characters are holed up in a barn, facing a dire situation. They're pinned down by a mysterious monster prowling outside that's killed most of their friends already. One of the survivors has answers, and the others listen to his story, hoping to figure out a way to kill the beast. When the monster finally puts in an appearance, it's as evil, violent, and well-imagined as any horror reader could hope for. And a way is found to banish it -- but not the one readers will expect.One of the things I found most entertaining about the story were the characterizations -- farmers in a small town, used to a hard-scrabble life, full of country sayings and written with great attention to detail by West. He does an excellent job of bringing these characters to life, and I'll definitely look forward to more from him.
