This was a decent, quick read but the ending left me a little confused. It didn't feel finished, even knowing that there would be short stories and novellas later on. The author gets a little heavy handed with the adjectives sometimes too.

This left me with more questions than answers, and I guess that is okay since it is part of a series, but I don't think it is a series that I will continue reading.

This was an excellent short story. Wonderfully written with some beautiful descriptive sentences. Can't wait to read some more stories about Timmy.

It started off really strong, but I felt that it became very action-oriented in the second half. This took away from the overall horror of The Turtle Boy.

Hauntingly mysterious and utterly engaging!
