The Lover is a lushly written, atmospheric, dark fairytale. Despite being just over 40 pages, I still felt satisfied with the story. Could I have enjoyed an entire full-length novel of this story? Probably. But I'm happy with how this ended. The Lover is filled with vivid storytelling that masterfully stimulates the imagination. I especially enjoyed the snowy winter setting. It has a touch of magic, mystery, and an ending that will leave you wondering.

A very good, concise short story that reminds me of a "spooky" bed time story of sorts. Short and to the point!
