Yawn | Short Story Review

A MIDWINTER SACRIFICE by J.F. Penn is a supernatural short with a touch of folklore, heavy in descriptions and light in action. I was nearly halfway through the story before anything really happened.

A young man tries to make money playing folk songs on his guitar, but street thugs take all his earnings, after beating him. He's told he can do something about it by visitng a local sacred site, but he puts his trust in the wrong person yet again.

Predictable and incredibly slow-paced.

As always,
