Nicely done! A short story related to Ryan Hoyt's "A Machete & Quill Horror" line of small town supernatural horror, with his novel "Raventree Hollow" being the first volume in the series. This story, "Senior Class," can be read on its own and is set many years after the events in the novel. It's geriatric horror, as described, since the central characters are about 90 years old, a couple of tough and smart ladies, who hate one another. Only one of them is right to hate the other, though; and the reason is indeed quite serious and horrific and, once revealed, you too will worry about that nasty granny!

As a fan of Raventree Hollow I had to pick this fabulous short story up. And I’m so glad I did.

Geriatric horror, revenge and spite - fantastic!

Thank you, Ryan Hoyt

This is a Chapbook that's very well written. It takes place in Raventree about 70 years apart from the beginning story. It's close to perfect pallet cleanser. I highly recommend this sidestory. I love the twist.
