Review: Atmospheric

Jeff Chapman's writing is as atmospheric as always in this short story (novelette, technically, I guess). Diving immediately into the situation at hand, but without sacrificing character and setting, the story begins at the reading of a will with a very strange request by the deceased.Of course this story is dark. Macabre. Makes the reader squirm a bit knowing that something disturbing is about to happen. And then throwing in a bit of a twist.What really impresses me--as it does every time I read a story by this author--is Chapman's way of packing so much description into such a short story, and really immersing the reader.
