I was between horror group reads and looking for a short story to cleanse my palate. I found this one in my Short Story TBR and went with it.It's hard to do a proper review for a short story without ruining everything. Plus if I try to describe it, it would sound silly. Suffice it to say, I just LOVED the imagination used to create this scary/gory short. I completely disagree with the other reviewer who saw nothing of Stephen King's early work in this story. This story was a bit gorier than King would get back in the day, but the imagination, creativity and writing chops are all there. We have the unreliable narrator and a sense of WTH is going on...is it real? Is this guy just insane? Is he drug addled?You'll have to read it and see what you think.I think it paid off for the author to offer this short for free because I'm excited to have found a new author and will gladly pay some money to see what else he has to offer.If you like a short story with a punch and have an open enough mind to suspend your disbelief, you will have a great time with this story.
