This was an interesting short novella. I really liked it, though I found it a bit disturbing that those friends had a game called the Apocalypse game, which meant they had to think of a scenario that would end the world and discuss it.
I am sure there are more fun things to do on Friday night, more fun than making up doom scenarios.

This was such a fascinating situation. I really enjoyed it but I do think it would have been a lot better if it was a bit longer and didn’t end on such a cliffhanger. I really think Grant could make a whole novel out of this idea. I love everything that Mira Grant releases, whether it is a short story or a whole series. I highly suggest this if you are looking for something short, open-ended and thought-provoking.

This very short story about a friend groups interesting game night is delightful. I think about this story often now that we've entered Covid times, actually. My friends and I like to do game nights and I think this would have been the type of game we could have gotten into back in the day. But now Covid is a thing and I'm not so sure...

Honestly, I just love a good short story, and it's a format I think horror works really well with.

Awesome, just awesome.
I read this over three months ago and I am still thinking about this short story. I just hope this will be expanded into a novel at some point.
