A Little Knowledge is a short story that reeled me in from the very start with a well-drawn and relatable protagonist, and kept my attention all the way through to the unexpected, chilling, end.
I loved how the tension kept building, slowly and inexorably. It was all quite subtle and understated, and yet the anticipatory anxiety just kept building inside me. It’s that delicious feeling you get with a well-written horror story, but there’s absolutely nothing gory or violent here. There’s just this constant build of dread that kept me reading until the very end in one sitting.
Well-crafted, excellent characterization and pacing, and an ending that chills you to the bone.
