It was a quick and stimulating read. I actually enjoyed this compared to some well-known books (which of course I rated 1 star). I was speculating at first what the creature of the dark really was (Army guys? Lone stranger? A fellow villager?), because maybe it was just the villagers' overactive imagination. The ending was disappointing
Spoiler(regarding the father)
but realistic
Spoilerbecause Sammy and his family kept living with his father despite his abuses. But again in reality, some spouses and children still choose to stay despite such situation
