This book perfectly highlights why I think Kristopher Triana rises so far above his peers. None of them could write a novella like this.
Triana always said he preferred writing thrillers to extreme horror and we really see how that shines here. What makes Triana’s writing so special is that the violence has true weight to it. Never does it feel over the top or exploitative.
The entire book up until the ending was tense. I was only gonna read a single chapter last night but I stayed up an extra hour to finish it because of how tense it was.
I didn’t like the ending. It felt like a bit of a cop out. It’s probably the only Triana story I’ve read where the ending was the worst part, but if anything that just highlights how great the rest of the book is.
I really do enjoy when Triana shies away from extreme horror and writes disturbing stories that aren’t scary. My two 5-star reads from him are psychological thrillers.
