Product Description
“The Road Best Not Taken” was originally written for an anthology called Crypto–Critters, which was unfortunately cancelled. I’ve always been fascinated by Bigfoot legends, and was surprised to hear that there were plenty of stories about the creature from North Carolina. Once I discovered that, it was impossible for me not to write a Carolina–flavored Bigfoot story. And once I did that and shared the story with friends, I found a lot more people had encounters of their own than I might have thought.

CREEPY as hell!! November 1, 2005
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Very few stories can provide the creeps during daylight hours, but Mr. Dansky's THE ROAD BEST NOT TAKEN does so, in spades! Dansky has a wonderful gift of evoking mood, place and atmosphere and this story excels in putting you amidst the swampy jungles of North Carolina's hinterlands with creatures that exist only in your most private nightmares.
It isn't so much the creature in this story that is frightening, but the universal situation of being stranded alone in a place that is both terrifying and eternal, with no hope of escape.
This is definitely a story to read in the darkest and deepest depths of night...but only if you're the kind of person who enjoys the feel of willowy fingers brushing against the back of your neck and the sound of your own heart picking up speed.
Evocative, chilling story January 1, 2006

I don't know what's creepier about the being in this story--its differences to humans or its similarities. A great eerie read.
Great atmosphere November 2, 2005

Richard Dansky does a wonderful job evoking a claustrophobic, oppressive atmosphere. It'll take you out of your livingroom and put you right into the story.
