Absolutely devastating and gut-wrenching. One of the hardest stories involving a newborn that I've seen to date. While very brief, it packs a punch. No need for supernatural horror here, as it focused on real world fare. A very strong showing from Warren Barns that will make you take a very deep breath when you see it read, The End.

Solid book, great writing and very creepy. I think that because I have no children this book didn't hit as hard as it could have but I really enjoyed this short read.

Dark and Disturbing

The Barns Brothers are at it again. If you can sit through Mother, then hopefully you can make it through this nightmare fuel! As a mother, this fear is all too real!

This one was just sad. Imagine believing you've finally been blessed with everything you've ever wanted, only to have it all ripped away. Disturbing, heartbreaking, and cruel in a completely different way. Warren Barns really knows how to twist the knife.

Short and not so sweet..

More like a punch to the gut without the physical contact. Shortness of breath and racing heart most definitely included!

It was okay...

Not my favorite, but it was okay for a short story. I guess I was just expecting something kinda different.

A Great Tragedy!

This book broke my heart! It begin on one of the world’s greatest blessings, and slowly evolves into a Tragedy.
