A pretty good and well written horror short. The short chapters make you want to keep reading despite there being no real mystery. The story is very straight forward 3 chapters in you think “ah, this is what happened” and well, you're probably right about it. It's really creepy and manages to build up tension despite the long timeframe its set in and you knowing the ending. While it wasn't long enough for me to say it's a character study the main characters rationales for her decisions were the most interesting part for me.

there was a very short moment – the split second between when Laure finds bobbys skulls which has horns and realizing it's a deer skull after all – where I thought the book was going to go a whole different direction and I'm a bit disappointed it didn't. This isn't really the books fault I simply prefer supernatural horror to the mundane.
