Review: Fantastic Short Story!
Rating: 5 out of 5

My favorite genres are literary fiction and horror (I also like some fantasy) so I was excited to read this short story. I'm new to reading short stories and as a writer myself, I'm always impressed with how complete of a story someone can write in just 5,000 words.What I liked best about this story was the psychological depth offered for these characters, both as solitary figures as well as interpersonal relationships. There was one part of the story where I thought the events were going to play out one way, and I was happy when later it turned out to be something else.The ending was well done as well in it's oblique and eventually suggestive nature. Without offering any spoilers, I at first read it one way ... from the psychological/inter-relationships standpoint ... but, as I read on, I got to see more of what was going on there.If you are looking for a psychological thriller with a twist of paranormal horror, look no further. This is a great short-story read, and I wouldn't hesitate to buy a longer work by this author, should one be released.
