The Night Guest by Hildur Knútsdóttir

This story was fast-paced. Unfortunately, that was the only real positive it had going for it.

While the prose wasn't bad, it lacked a clear, compelling voice. The twists were boring. The "horror" was there, I guess, but it wasn't so much scary as slightly unsettling. Overall, it was a fine enough short story that suffered by being longer than a few pages.

Thank you to Tor Nightfire and NetGalley for the ARC.
