It Waits in the Woods by Josh Malerman

3.0

'It Waits in the Woods' started out with an interesting premise, and I enjoyed the distant narrative voice that explained the myth of demon that lives in the woods. However, as soon as the story began to focus on Brenda, I felt as though that original voice was lost, and the narrative became a little dry as the pacing slowed down and became too detailed. Moments of tension were overwhelmed by irrelevant descriptions. The plot itself was fine, but provided nothing new.
