Review: Too much hinges on hidden information

While Scribner succeeds in creating a creepy atmosphere, too much in this story hinges on the main character not knowing what is going on.  It's difficult for me to understand why her boyfriend would want to return there in the first place -- so in the end, the reader feels as if s/he's wasted the past few minutes being the participant in what is little more than an authorial contriviance.If you don't overthink it, it may work.
