Review: SPLENDID ATMOSPHERIC AND CHILLING TALE!!
Rating: 4 out of 5

I was pleasantly surprised while reading Robert Dunbar's fine novella, WOOD.  For the most part, it moved along quite well, drew me in, and was very atmospheric and brooding: the cold, depressing winter climate; the eerie, nearby woods; the sadly  forgotten suburban/rural neighborhood.  It all meshed very well, enhancing the building suspense.  The only weak part, to me, was the actual description of the creature from the woods.  I guess I would have preferred the thing to be more in the shadows, more amorphous or something.  Regardless, the novella ended quite well, and tied civilization together with the advent of something else from a more primitive food chain.
