Michael C. Riedlinger’s story is the next standout. He asks the reader to suspend disbelief, and when twelve-year-old Will goes on his first hunting trip with his dad, in “The Snow Line,” the reader does as well, nearly unconsciously so. Even my own resistance to horror writing could not stop me from turning page after page, going along with Riedlinger on his strange and incredible trip. This story is as unsettling as it gets, and Michael C. Riedlinger deserves a nod.
