[Grace · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you like short stories that leave you a bit unstable...this one is perfect. The author does a great job of brining the reader into the psychotic mind of a killer, albeit an old man. The story drips with calm madness, not your typical horror story...much more disturbing. Once you're in the story, you won't want it to end. Excellent job Ms Mosiman...you've made my list of favorite authors.

This is a great short story. When you stat reading you figure this is a story about an old man confessing his sins but you soon realize that it is much more. The thing about this story is it just goes to show you never know what evil hides within the people we come in contact with on a daily basis.

This is a highly entertaining story about thinking before doing.
