My Two Cents (Book Review): HOMECOMING by Micah Castle

The concept for "Homecoming" by Micah Castle is a good one: a young man returns to the town in which he grew up to attend a friend's funeral, and rediscovers dark moments from his past. Castle's writing is well-paced, and there are creepy scenes involving a subterranean realm, mysterious creatures, and a sinister cult--all the makings of a good backstory and mythos--but I wish the story had been longer to better develop these. Character development was also limited by the short page count. Overall, though, this was a quick read with a satisfactory twist at the end. I look forward to reading what Castle can do with a longer work.
