This is a such fine book.
It is a beautifully, carefully written story. And it is a story that is full of wisdom.
It's a horror story...and yet it transcends this classification to become a truly fine piece of fiction, one that examines the nature of love, friendship, and fears; it's about the things we remember and the things we forget. It is about ourselves.
Prentiss reminds me a bit of Ray Bradbury - not his style - but his concerns about the nature of remembrance and how we strive to understand the wonder that surrounds us. This is the material that Prentiss is working on.
The book is $2.99 from Amazon. Here's the link, so you can examine some of the reviews:

ADDED: "Invisible Fences" won a 2010 Bram Stoker Award in the category of Long Fiction.

Thanks for that. I bought the book last year but never got around to reading it. Will have to try and slot it in somewhere.
