This story is about two agents looking for clues to a couple of disasters. They interview a man named Martin Lorensen who was present during the disasters but got away before the actual disasters hit. When they interview him, they don’t get much out of him. However, Martin slowly reveals that he did have something to do with both situations. This revelation came with a price and impacted both the agents.
What a fun story. I enjoyed the fast-paced of the writing and subtle mystery. I also liked how Martin reveals what he’s able to do. I would have liked to know more about this “gift,” such as, where it came from, and how these “angels” communicate with him. Martin doesn’t say how they communicate but it’s insinuated that he understood how they worked.
Who should read this book: A great short horror read for anyone who wants to give Joe Hill’s writing a try, or who just wants to read a short horror story.
