Hand on my heart, I could not tell you what the plot of this short story is. I don’t hate that though, it was creepy in a gothic sort of way where I wasn’t sure what was happening but I knew I didn’t like it. There was one scene that was a little more graphic than I’d have liked, but I can’t fault it for that - horror is as horror does and it wasn’t gratuitous, I just hate gory pseudo-sex scenes. I think the ending could have been more conclusive and I’d have liked it a little more.
