It's hard for me to write a detailed review of a short story without giving too much away. I will just say Edward Lorn has done it again.
An unhappy couple are about to separate. Perhaps that separation would have been temporary, or perhaps this trip would have led to eventual divorce, had it not been interrupted by the horror they encounter during their travels. A quick and creepy read. ( )

Crawl Juliet and Colton is driving home to Juliet's mom. Their marriage is on the rocks and she is going to stay there and figure out if she want to continue living with him. They don't get there instead Juliet ends up fighting for her life out in the woods on her hands and knees...Strangely enough the worst part of the book was the anticipation that something is going to happen. The part in the forest is gruesome but it ends too soon for my taste (It always does with short stories)...I'm a little puzzled how she figured out that the priest owned the car and why she got so jumpy in the toilet...so the women next door is talking to her, so what?

While creepy in its own account, I do not consider this short story to be one of my favourites by Edward Lorn.

In the ruins of their marriage Colton drives Juliet to her mother. But as they thought their luck was already running low, it might be time to think again. For soon Juliet finds herself nailed to a post and the only thing she can do to save herself is crawl.

The first part was really good. Anticipation was there all along and I was really waiting for something to happen. It could have lasted longer, as the tension was rising. I think the story would have worked better as a longer story. Because also the second part, the real horror felt a bit rushed and the ending too open for my liking. As this is usually the case with short stories, I blame it on the format.

I think I got this novella for free some time ago, but I really can't remember the details. ( )
