Notes on “Valley of the Dunes”

This story is a basic, no-frills, creature-feature. I wanted the creature’s appearance to be a surprise for the reader, but having been originally published in a creature-themed anthology, I doubt if it was. Perhaps being included in this non-themed collection helped juice the jolt if you just read it for the first time.

I think it’s a pretty good horror story, if you’re into that kind of thing.

I know I am and I hope it shows.
