Review: A carefully constructed dark fantasy.
Rating: 4 out of 5

A well paced short story that gradually builds its world and characters through layered details and descriptions along with some unusual stylistic choices.The decision to name characters by occupation gives the reader immediate impressions of everyone, as well as some sense of detachment, all of which adds to the atmosphere of unease and foreboding.  The dark feelings and increasing tension continue as the story twists towards a resolution  (which I found a bit predictable, but didn't mind).Something different from the norm, and quite interesting.
