It's hard to review a short story without giving anything away, but this story really made me think. I know it's fiction, but how many people live like this? You really don't know what's going on behind closed doors.

I find that psychological horror is far more chilling than is supernatural horror. Perhaps the most horrifying psychological horror deals with the sustained abuse of children by alcoholic parents.

The themes explored in this short story are dreadful and telling. The fact that the things described can and do happen in this world only add to the dread felt while reading it.
