This was my favorite story in the “Creature Feature” stories. To me, it was a spin on some a campfire story. This short read easily drew me.

I liked the first twenty percent of this when the urban legend was being recounted, but after that it was so dull I almost fell asleep while listening. That's not even hyperbole. (I had a similar reaction to The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon. Forests bore me I guess?)

An okay read but it was my least favorite of the creature feature collection.
