This story was unsettling and intense. It certainly made me think twice about driving down a deserted country road. One of the reasons this story was so spooky is that scenario was very believable. I have read this story before and I’ve always remembered it. The author was great at setting the scene and drawing the reader in. There was tons of foreshadowing in this story as well. The reader always knows something bad is going to happen. None of the characters in the story are likeable, and the reader doesn’t get emotionally involved with them. Examples of foreshadowing include the mention of the misfit at the beginning, when the grandmother is all dressed up just in case she might die on the edge of the road, when they see the cemetery with the six graves, and when the misfit’s car is compared to a hearse. Reading the story made me believe that there must be many other people in the world like the misfit that we just pass by them every day not thinking twice about them.
