Yumi Heo.
Noted adult fiction author Alice Hoffman and her teenage son collaborate on a bizarre, frightening Halloween tale involving werewolf pups, destruction of property, and a lonely, misunderstood old woman. While the narrative is compelling, it ends abruptly, leaving numerous inconsistencies and unanswered questions. Brightly hued collage paintings use unique perspectives to heighten the drama.
