“Fiend” began with an interesting premise of a boy being haunted by something he thinks is after him. He is unable to convince anyone, from his own mother to his stepfather that something is pursuing him. There are several things wrong with “Fiend.” It is too short of a novel and should have been expanded, it introduces characters and conflicts that have no significance to the story and the ending is too confusing. For the length of “Fiend” it proved to be a very disappointing short story.
