I have read many of the books by Jane Lebak and came across this little volume. I picked up and read it while in the house alone on Halloween. It was a wonderful read for All Hollows Eve. And to be honest is very different than anything else I have read by Lebak.
This short story is a blast of a read. Sarah is stuck in her job as a waitress. If she leaves people will die. And there has already been more death than she wants to be responsible for. The story is told in part going back and forth from the present to the past. Sarah feels that she can’t leave town. And she now there is someone who interests her. When a stranger shows up at the diner one day he can not only see the creature, the monster, or the demon, be he has a trick for distracting it, and shares a secret of how to finally get rid of it.
It is the story of a young woman, who was abused as she grew up, and her mother was a battered wife. When one night something it let loose from a crate in the earth it latches onto her. And her life is never the same. Slowly she gave up her dreams and hopes. But maybe there is a chance, and that new hope twists the tale in a new way.
A fun short story. An intriguing read. And so worth the price. So, pick it up and give it a try. It is a haunted tale with a surprise ending. But I will warn you. The story leaves you wondering what happens to Sarah next. And also who the old man is and more about his story.
