Brittle Bones, Plastic Skin
I love horror/thriller/suspense, but this left a bit to be desired. I may read some more of this authors work, but I was not impressed by this short.

An emotionally-powerful and unsettling tale, “Brittle Bones, Plastic Skin” by R. Thomas Riley makes for a brisk, engrossing read. I definitely look forward to reading more from this author.

R. Thomas Riley’s “Brittle Bones, Plastic Skin” is a creepy tale of the unexpected reaches of life. Told in a musing form by a possibly crazy father it’s the story about a different sort of haunting and the effects it has had on one horrified family. Not the most powerful of horror tales, it will still make readers glance suspiciously out their windows and watch their surroundings more carefully. It’s also low on gore and high on tension, which will appeal to fans of horror who want to be scared and not just grossed out.
