Beast: A Rankin Flats Horror Tale

by Cameron Lowe

Something inhuman prowls the streets of Rankin Flats, and it has its mind set on its next meal - a group of unsuspecting teenagers trying to navigate the pitfalls of their last couple years in high school. At the core of the group is Becca. Poor, head over heels in love with her best friend's brother, and trying to avoid having to go home and face her drunk for a father, Becca is barely hanging on as it is. But the beast stalking her cares about none of that. It only wants her - and her friends. In this spectacularly gruesome creature feature of a novella, Cameron Lowe returns to the Rankin Flats universe to scare the daylights out of readers with a quick chomp of a story. Fans of his supernatural thrillers will find some fun links between this and his previous novels, though Beast can be read and enjoyed as a standalone too. Come meet the terrifying beast of Rankin Flats. Just mind your hands - it bites.

Pretty good read. Some areas that needed fleshing out but on the whole a good read. Characters were good, storyline was not as well developed as i would like but still acceptable. Dystopia is coming of age!

This story is one wild ride. It's super scary and mysterious. A terrifying beast stalks a teenage girl and everyone connected to her. The ending is a big surprise.

Becca and her friends were riding around town and saw Mrs. Fulton who they claimed was a witch.
When she got home she discovered her father had sold the car and filled the liquor cabinet and was cooking supper. They got into a fight and she ran away. The next day she met up with Darcy and then went to a cowboy poetry reading for Becca made a fool of herself. Derek, Darcy's boyfriend was with them and as I was walking back to the car he was attacked by a beast and killed. This was a well-written story, but it didn't scare me like I was hoping it would...
