I'd put this in a genre called Post-Apocalyptic Cosmic Horror. It was fun, it was scary in the sense of constant dread and anxiety. When your world is collapsing, what can you really do? Who is prepared for an alien invasion or zombies or even natural disasters? This novella touches on the fear of the unknown, the fear of survival and the fear of creatures out of this world.

What would you do to save your family from something unknown? The constant anxiety I felt through the MC made this book work. I couldn't imagine going through a similar situation. I like the family dynamic because that adds extra terror, especially as a parent. My mind immediately goes to the sacrifices I would do for my children. I love that this is a work of fiction but could easily be a very scary reality.

Thank you for NetGalley for the ARC
