Harlow, Montana is a sleepy little town where everyone knows everyone else and nothing exciting ever happens. However, one day a woman is attacked in her mobile home, by someone she claims is her dead father. The town becomes fearful as the attacks increase.
The Shapeshifter is a "monster" from Native American folklore that changes form to become what its victims fear most. Some of the people who lived to talk about their attacks described being hunted or stalked by Chucky, Jason Voorhees and Freddy Krueger.
I absolutely loved this story, but gave it three stars due to formatting issues, numerous typos, and an ending that felt a little too rushed. Sentences like "But I don't there was" and ""Shades drew, the residents of Harlow settled in for a long, uncertain night" completely removed me from the story. With a little editing, this has the potential of being a fantastic tale.
