I really enjoyed this story - delightfully magical and creepy. I'm a bit confused as to the motivation of the title character, but it doesn't diminish my enjoyment of the story.

Kindle freebie.
The story has a bit more telling than I usually like, but the use of mood is really well done.

Taken from my Amazon.com review.
Here Coghlan creates a fun, interesting little bite of a tale that holds attention for just as long as it needs to. Not exactly unforgettable, but it does make an impression that might leave you feeling a little chillier when you've closed the book - because it is a chilling tale.
The writing is mostly bare-bones, little detail goes into characterization or descriptors, and since it is a short story, that's quite alright. I'd have liked to know more about the main character though - he had a vague, sort of Everyman quality that made him serviceable as a plot device, but not terribly interesting. Conversely, Coghlan's description of environment is beautiful, from the sunlit lookout to the grey, dreary town, this author certainly knows how to set a scene.
The author claims this book is "free forever", so what've you got to lose but a few minutes of your time? I certainly recommend this work, especially since it comes at the best price of all.
