I have been a huge fan of the author ever since I read "After Dinner Mint," and this short story was definitely up there with the blood and gore that I have become used to. I wish that it could have been just a bit longer, but I still enjoyed it very much. Can't wait to read more from this author. ( )

A short story with really no plot at all. There is no real storyline, just a single event that is described. Not very interesting to read.
I also had a bit of an issue with the language and the descriptions. The language is very repetitive, and sometimes words are used that just don't fit, for instance, the author consistently uses the word 'spine' in stead of 'back', and it really annoyed me. It sometimes reads like it was written by a foreigner who doesn't have a very good command of English.
The descriptions are also repetitive, and not very convincing. If somebody gets hit over the head and we hear the cracking of a skull, then most likely the person is dead. If you suffer an injury you don't always get 'torrents' of blood, some wounds really don't bleed that much.
Also, the entire story is set inside a grave, in which there is a dead body and still plenty of room for three people to go running around, which really makes me wonder how big this grave is, cause really, usually graves aren't that large... ( )
