The Tangled Woods by Emily Raboteau

2.0

This was my first read from Amazon's 'Dark Corners' short story collection. Reginald and his family go on a holiday to a hellish sounding family resort. There is an attached political diatribe about every new person he meets, including a disturbing mass shooter sequence. Reginald truly is a horrific character - I found myself desperate for the story to be over and not following this man and his family anymore despite it only being 40 pages long! Additionally, the ending was disturbing and odd... Not the most accomplished short story I have read unfortunately. Let's hope the other stories in the collection are better quality.
