The Pale Ones by Bartholomew Bennett is a puzzler.
It has all the right elements for a really good short story. It has a mood and atmosphere, and Bartholomew Bennett can write a good sentence. Yet this story seemed a little like a semi-string of consciousness exercise. With things happening and scene changes that seemed abrupt. Part of that may be due to the fact it is more a novella than a novel. I got a kindle copy to make sure that I hadn't missed something in the narrated talking book version--
While most of the story was well written and parts of it were creepy I'm not sure I would classify it as a horror story.
The narration by Homer Todiwala was very well done. 
Thank you to #NetGalley, and #SagaEgmont for the ALC of #ThePaleOnes.
