I picked this up as a freebie on Amazon as the cover caught my eye. The blurb sounded interesting so I decided to give this author a try and I'm glad I did. The story flowed well with a good mix of creepiness and horror. The ending seemed kind of abrupt and left me wondering about the creature. Overall I'm quite impressed by the author and look forward to more from him.
