Review: The Scavenger by Aidan Lucid

The Scavenger by Aidan Lucid

In this novella by Aidan Lucid, three friends encounter supernatural evil made all the more disturbing because it’s a twisted reflection of their own secret hopes and desires. That’s really what makes this novella so much fun. Lots of people have played with the “magical wish gone wrong” idea, but Lucid did it with far more finesse and subtlety than most writers. The wishes genuinely seem to be working out wonderfully, but when they go awry the hairs on the back of your neck will stand up and tingle. I hope Lucid will show us more of these three friends in future stories.
