Review of "Rabbit Blind" by Desiree Horton
Sep 12

The dread in Rabbit Blind is quite literally inescapable until the very last page;
that feeling of wrongness is strong enough to make a person flinch.
And finding out exactly what was wrong—a punch to the gut.
Quotes I thought were neat:
• "Her mother always said things that don’t exist can’t hurt you. Ester knew that wasn’t quite true, but she tried all the same."
— Chapter Two
• "The floorboards beneath her feet had faces in them, angry ones that didn't belong."
— Chapter Three
Often with shorter novelettes like this one, I'm left wanting more. That's not the case here; I think despite how short it was, it was developed perfectly and Horton delivered a story that will stick in my mind for a good long while!
