Review: This tale is a remake of the original Beauty and the Beast, laden with wicked humor, and a few surprising elements thrown in there for a good rising on your heartbeats.
I admit when I started reading this I was not expecting the way the plot went. Not ever would I have thought how the events would turn or that the very end would leave me with vague ideas and to the mercy of my own imagination.
I think this author did a pretty good job in the scary area and if you’re looking for a different kind of “funny” read, a bit dark, a bit fatal perhaps, then this short story will do fine, especially in the spirit of Halloween.
I certainly intend on retelling this tale to my friends for a nice scare. J
