Black Canyon by Jeremy Bates
4.0
Black Canyon is a really good short story. The characterisation is excellent and I had no inkling of what was to come.
The story revolves around a dysfunctional family of three; mum, dad and 12 year old son Brian, on a camping trip to Colorado. The family set out on a hike to the bottom of a canyon but events take a sinister turn when an accident occurs. Brian remains with his injured father while his mother goes in search of help. Meanwhile, there's something in the bushes watching Brian and his dad...
Black Canyon is a quick and easy read. It left me thinking I'd experienced something really good; a bit like eating smoked salmon when you'd been expecting fish fingers :)
