The End of the Party

A very short story from Graham Greene, available free here, although it does have some annoying typo's in it.

This was an enjoyable story about identical twin boys Peter and Francis, who are to attend a childs party where hide and seek in the dark is planned. Francis is terrified of this prospect, and Peter's ability to read Francis's thoughts lets him understand his brothers fear.

Limited characters, simple setting, very quick read, but Greene as always, delivers.

4 stars

yay for twists! Although I did have to read the last paragraph a few times.

Loved the build up, excellent pacing and various horror/thriller elements without being over the top.
