Man returns home to find his wife up to strange things--this is what comes from reading The Secret--just kidding. Actually, if you can believe it, it's even worse than that. Luckily, there are some helpful squirrels about--but I don't think they will appreciate the author calling them tree rats--more than once. There is lots of horror here and some memorable, gory passages. There is not a lot of logic or explanation. This seems to be a common theme among the authors who post these short horror stories on Amazon. They are good at being horrific, not so good at providing some possible explanation or deeper meaning.

Technically, a well-written story, but it was really lacking in originality. It was very short, but even still, the ending was very obvious even just a few paragraphs into the story. It was one of those stories, though, in which I kept reading to make sure I was right, and feeling disappointed that I *was* right, almost like watching an old episode from Tales from the Crypt. ( )

Not that original! ( )
