The Quiet Boy

I saw the trailer for Antlers (not a fan of the name change, The Quiet Boy is a better title imo) and did a google search on the short story it was based on. It was a great read, however I wish it was a bit longer. I found myself wanting to know more about the characters, especially the boy and his family.

Worth?: Yes!

For such a such a short story I really enjoyed it. Nick captured the atmosphere while driving it home. The evil in this is done well. I believe how he wrote the teacher is something all of us, most of us, could relate too. I think that was my favorite part about this read. It is well worth the read. Very short. As an audio it is only a 56 minute read!
