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.
