Wild Minds by Aiden Merchant
4.0

Wild Minds by Aiden Merchant is a chilling tale about a man that isolates himself at a cabin to write. But at that cabin, there is something in the woods watching him…

Full Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my rating in any way.

Trigger Warning: A brave dog goes to the farm upstate and as a reader, we see the aftermath.

My goodness. I just love tales centered around someone isolating themselves in a cabin! Take that, and add in both a snow storm that has blocked the roads AND a terrifying monster?! A perfect recipe for me!

This short story had amazing atmosphere! I love that we very quickly went from seeing the monster as a writing muse to being horrified by it.

I found myself feeling like I was getting a bit angsty the further into the story I got. When I finally hit the ending, it was with quite the pair of mixed feelings; both shock and relief that I could come up to breathe again. What a tale!!

I highly recommend this story to those that enjoy getting themselves lost in the darkness of a horror tale!
