The thought of an evil dentist freaks me out before I even started reading the story. The idea is terrifying. The thought of torture by someone pulling out your teeth, eeek. I immediately start thinking of the movie Marathon Man. "Is it safe?" (shudder)So, dentists are already scary. This particular dentist is a demon and he is extracting souls. This is a well-written quick read. It is very much a macabre short story. It reminded me of Nightmare on Elm Street, since the victims die in their nightmares. It is a definite spooky, clever, little story that I should probably not have read right before going to bed. But since it was so short and interesting, I wanted to finish it. The narrative immediately draws you in and you just have to keep reading to find out how it will end. Overall, though, dentists are still scary, this story was more darkly humorous. It was funny, in a violent, twisted sort of way.
