Considering the book I read previously, The Vanishing, was so badly written, and full of grammatical errors, this short story seems well-written by comparison.
I think the main problem with the book is the summary, "What if the neighborhood vigilante were a werewolf?" and the cover image for the story, a wolf's head. It tells you right up front what you're getting. I think this spoils a good opportunity to take the reader on a little mystery tour, trying to figure out what's happening. Because y...more

This was one of those books that I got finished reading, and just sat there for a moment, wondering whether or not it was worth my reading or not.
For a short story, this carried no weight. It was like plucking a chapter from a novel, and feeling as though there is so much missing. Characters, plots, a storyline, all gone, and you sort of have to pretend you know what's going on when you REALLY don't.
The writer can't really work his pen very well, either. Very sluggish, and the same sort of const...more

Short stories have always been a challenge for me. I've discovered that often when I read a collection, I'll only truly find a few memorable. However, I've long since accepted that the abruptness and suspension of a short story are what defines the piece. Short stories are meant to be incomplete, yet impactful.
That being said, I didn't care for this short story at all. It just didn't seem to accomplish anything worthy of note. It didn't shock me, disturb me, nor move me in any way. The character...more

I get the purpose of a short story. Impactful writing and abrupt action. However, this was sooo poorly written, it failed at everything. I hated this book. It depended too much on the cover to tell the story rather than telling it in words.
I have already deleted this.

Did I just waste my time with this? Yes, I think I did. No tension. No character development. No closure. No weight. No intriguing style. No editing. No quality. This is something I would have wrote myself in grade school.
Quick, easy short story about a vigilante werewolf. It really would have been a very good start to a much bigger paranormal romantic suspense novel, but as it is it was a little too short and ended abruptly.
This was good, but it felt a bit short at the end. I would have liked to have just a little more of the story. This would be truly awesome as a short novel if it were to be expanded.
I downloaded it from Barnes & Noble but it was only 20 poages. I didn't realize it was a sample but for some reason I wasn't too motivated to search for or get the entire book.
I'm not really sure what to say about this book. It seemed to be a great start to a book. It's only one chapter and I have to say that when I finished it I wanted more.
This had alot of action and the plot was good but it needed to be longer. If you are after a good short story full of action and suspense then this is for you.
"AFTER DARK" BY BRYAN LEE
This was a short story of what I assumed to be a werewolf with the tendency to still obtain his human feelings of right and wrong. The story begins with a woman being accosted by two men that apparently have the mind to violate her and likely even murder her as she is out late one night jogging. You can likely guess who... or actually what comes to her rescue. It's a well-written story from the prospective of the werewolf describing what he sees and how it makes him feel...more

This was a short story about a wearwolf who saves a women from getting raped. I did not care for the ending of the book. It did not really conclude.
Great short story..It left me wanting more. It's about a vigilante, but it needs to be developed into a full novel. Cause I wanna read more!
It was short, no passion at all but mysterious. Left me thinking there was more. I wanted to read more.
This would have been okay as a beginning to or excerpt from a larger book, but as a stand alone it was very one dimensional. The main thing it had going for it (being a short light horror story) would be suspense, but that was significantly lacking due to the cover art and the description spoiling it that our vigilante is a werewolf.

Felt a little to short for me even for a short story but, had a good story line behind it.
Ok storyline for a short story. I gave this book 3 stars because I think the author has potential.
Very short but to the point. Don't go running in the park after dark.
Good little story, pity it wasn't the start of a full book.
Wow, I love how it took the point of view of the wolf .
9 pages... should be able to knock this right out. Can hardly count it as a book :-)
Another short story with a flat ending with no closure.
This would be a good prequel for a series.
This short was total justice porn.
Likable short story. Suspenseful.
Great short story:-)...
Good story line but was to short
Just okay - not much to it.
A very short story.
