After not caring a lot for Tooth Worms by this author, I wanted to give them another chance, especially since I remembered having a few freebies from DarkLit Press of their stories on my kindle. Unfortunately, I enjoyed this one even less than my first experience with Lor's writing! It was another instance of too much build-up to a very rushed, abrupt ending with no payoff or explanation for what was happening. The Family kind of felt like I was reading a 12-page prequel to a longer horror story, except there's nothing to follow it up with. :(
