Briardark

[4.5/5 if I could]

A must read for fellow fans of Yellowjackets, Netflix's Dark, Annihilation, The Forest game, and the recent Paramount+ show Significant Other. S.A. Harian's Briardark is an excellent psychological thriller with hints of sci-fi, and an interesting gamer/streamer perspective. I was as surprised as anyone to read the words Dead Space pop up in character, but it made me enjoy this relatable cast even more. It's a bit of a long read that does begin to drag towards the third act—losing some of the eerie traction—but I cannot wait to continue the exhilarating and often times creepy mystery in the follow up book! This would make for an excellent mini-series or movie.
