Skin by Peter FugazzottoMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
A good novella from horror/grim-dark fantasy author Peter Fugazzotto.
A group of men guarding a border outpost find that they have invited some creature into their keep. The creature can mimic any person. And it is killing them off one by one.
Well constructed story. Compelling characters and decent world building.
As the author readily admits, this story seems to be a close parallel with John Carpenter's movie "The Thing". That was apparent to me early on in reading the story. But the writing was compelling enough to keep me interested in seeing how Peter would reveal his version of the story.
