Clay Finnes returned to his small home town, after he served time in the service, where he became the local ​Sheriff. After a tragedy, he and his wife had separated. Jenna was a nurse.
The quiet of his small town was turned into a nightmare after a couple from Atlanta had a bad car accident. The wife was frantic and the couple were ranting about senseless things. This evening of a full-moon was one Clay would never forget.
This novella is a very unusual fantasy and horror story.
This can be read as a "stand alone", but the ending may be somewhat unsettling if one does not follow it up with the next sequel. It reflects a cross between 'The Twilight Zone' and Alfred Hitchcock movies.
Bulwark is the name of this very peculiar town. The characters are very diverse but defined well. The scenes are vividly portrayed. The eerie Cover image is very fitting... The Title is passable.
The tale is fairly well-written.
This is definitely not a "bedtime" story!
I offer a Three and a Half Stars rating.
*This book was gifted me with no pressure for a positive review. This us my honest review. ( )
