review 1: (short story)This was a short story I found months ago (a whole slew of his stuff was on sale for free on Amazon and I grabbed them because the stories sounded interesting), but then somehow forgot about them (there are lots on my Kindle, so this is easily understood). I decided that since it is a month of horrors, to pull 'em out and give 'em a read - and noticed that, sadly, and for some unknown reason, that this one is no longer available on Amazon. Too bad because it is one that I would recommend, so if you have a Kindle, contact me and I'll be glad to lend it to you.In his description, he likens it to "early Stephen King and To Kill a Mockingbird," which I can completely see. When reading it, if you look at what is going on through the eyes of a child, you can real... morely see how this could be a scary event. And the ending - totally messed up.
review 2: writing from the kid's point of view made it all the creepier. but there were holes in the wrap-up: for example, what happened to the van? was anyone else ever reported missing? still, the writer is very skilled in writing about family dynamics (the way his parents coped / couldn't cope with a missing child) and how he described his neighborhood friends, making a distinction between them and school friends.this was a decent story, though. less
