Another short tale, at times these are my favorite tales to
read. I found cruelty tightly written but a bit on the Twilight Zone side of
tales. The main culprit in my opinion is tired, that said, it is well
presented. There are certain traditional ‘horror’ characters whether based on
‘real-based’ or ‘animated’ that are age old in storytelling. Here you have one
of those.
I was however impressed with the presentation. It was dark,
sinister and quite horrific. The horror is genuine for the two protagonists who
find themselves confronted with Edward’s vision of cruelty. The highway in
which they find themselves stranded offers a short travel in despair.
The descriptive voice is nicely drawn and does well to keep
the tale alive. For me I find it an easily recommended short tale for the avid
horror fan. For those looking for something more, deeper or unique in the
horror realm, I say, move along.
For the reader there is not much to be disappointed about or
at awe over. Basically, Cruelty is entertaining and nicely written. For the
writer, there is nothing much to report on.
