Elderwood Manor is a creepy and atmospheric tale of a man and his young son trapped in his childhood home with the body of his recently deceased mother. The creaks and groans of a musty old mansion soon reveals themselves to be something more menacing.I was very impressed by the descriptions of the winter storm that traps our protagonists in the house; I felt that I could see and feel it. What makes this novella really special to me is the relationship between Bruce and Cody. My son is also four years old and I could see him in Cody's language and behavior. Cody being involved in the dangerous situation upped the stakes and made the story more suspenseful.For a "one dark night" kind of story you can't go wrong with this one. Four stars!
