Scraping the Bone Review (part 2 of 10)

Rest Stop

"Rest Stop" is the second short story in William Malmborg's collection of chilling tales entitled Scraping the Bone. "Rest Stop" is quick and gritty. The opening was magnetic and the ending was significant. Normally I don't like short stories that are under ten pages long, yet Malmborg's execution was so exciting I only noticed the length in retrospect.
I give it 5 out of 5 stars.

"The boots were still there, laces open and dangling onto the stained tile floor."

I absolutely love Malmborg's writing style. My heart was racing as I read "Rest Stop".
