Ten Mile Creek by Cain MacbethMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
TEN MILE CREEK is a rather frightening tale, with a historical mystery, genealogy, and a trio of contemporary characters who are endearing and eliciting of our empathy. I found the historical human "monster" much more frightening than the Supernatural element, and indeed, pondering that element and turning it over and over in my mind along with the final chapter and the epilogue, kept me awake during the night after reading it. The aspect I did not like was the author's intermittent telegraphing of future events, which seemed to be disruptive. I don't expect to find happy endings in Horror; still I like to hope that all good guys survive, if not flourish.
