4.0
An interesting little story that captures a whole lot in just 20 pages and explores the sublime in a really exhilarating, creepy way. It juxtaposes the confidence of the protagonist, Clark, who thinks he's removed from the tourists that come to pollute his sleepy home, with humanity's obliviousness to the reality of the natural world. Richard Gavin's crisp, almost economic narration conveys this story of transformation - physical and psychological - in a way that's both unnerving and exciting and almost sexual. It really gets under the skin with its fleeting imagery and understated, doom-laden ending.
I also have to mention the evocative cover art by the immensely talented Michael Bukowski, whose blog of Lovecraftian (and a whole lot more) monsters - http://yog-blogsoth.blogspot.com/ - is a delight to follow.
Overall another awesome little publication from Dunhams manor Press
