Can I go ahead and claim a discussion for tomorrow? I absolutely LOVE Tim Burton, and this story reminded me so much of one of his stories. There is something I love about seeing a creepy, evil, or otherwise unlovable character have very personal attributes that make the reader feel for them in a very affectionate way.
Also, I have a lot of questions about what you all think happens at the end.
I thought about Tim Burton while I was reading that too! I also really liked the way that it was written-- we never had the full picture of what was going on which made the story even spookier. The image of the sheriff digging up frozen dirt on his son's grave with his bare hands gave me chills.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this story too! It will be interesting to hear different people's perspectives on what the ending of the story was. The imagery was chilling and very were written!
