The Between

I received a digital ARC of The Between by Tananarive Due from the publisher through NetGalley. I also purchased audio and print editions. The Between is a chilling and esoteric novel from Tananarive Due exploring concept of outliving one's fate. Imagine evading death and awakening in a different reality, perhaps one where you did not die. Hilton walks between the worlds of life and death, one reality and another, and is haunted by dreams. Overall I found the concept of this novel to be really compelling. This new edition of the book begins with a fascinating introduction by Due explaining the origins and history of the novel, and then launches into the narrative. I found many sections of this book to be highly compelling, but overall the pacing felt a bit slow despite the relatively short length of this text. Overall, I didn't like this book as well as The Good House and Ghost Summer Stories. With that said, I still think the concept of the novel is really great and it's definitely worth checking out. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
