The concept of "Ankle Snatcher" was intriguing, but it would have benefited from being a tad longer. Plunging straight into the horror was effective, yet with some additional buildup, it could have heightened the sense of unease even further for me.

Also, I would've loved to read a follow up story regarding the inmates and their plans on defeating the monsters.

A more mature take on the monster-under-the-bed trope, Ankle Snatcher was a fun concept, but fell short for me. Primarily, the later half and ending lacked a clear execution. I think a higher page count would have been a good idea, as to add more depth (and more scares) to the latter half of this scary story. Also, not great depictions of women, albeit, in a limited character roster.
