Penelope Crowe's horror story "Absorbed" crept under my skin and sent chills down my spine.  She amazingly paced the story as we watch it gradually grow darker.We can all sympathize with Violet and her unfortunate abusive relationships.  Her latest boyfriend Mike is a prize-winning loser.  When Violet anonymously receives a mysterious necklace as a gift, she experiences positive change in the beginning.  We watch her gain courage; however, this dark courage gradually turns in surprising ways.  Just how far should one go to get justice?  Is revenge worth it?  What will finally become of Violet?I loved this story!  It is full of thrills and chills.  Crowe is a superb storyteller.  I look forward to reading more from this talented writer.
