Out Behind the Barn by Chad Lutzke, John Boden

I got this book in the January Nightworms Box (such a good subscription box for horror fans!)
It’s a short little book, but with a huge impact. The story throws you right in, and somehow over the course of 100 pages, you really feel for these characters. The horror builds slowly and subtly, starting as a niggle at the back of your brain, the wrongness builds and as you begin to see the shape of things, understanding brings a new sensation. And the ending ... the ending hurts.
This was a fantastic story, one that will have me thinking about it and turning it over in my mind for many nights to come. As is so often the case with well-curated subscription boxes, now I have to go out and find more stuff by these guys.
