Unbury Carol by Josh Malerman
3.0

3 stars
I really wanted this to be more than what it was. I wanted it to be spooky and creepy and claustrophobic. I wanted to feel dread and I wanted that feeling of running out of time.

Sadly I didn’t get any of those vibes. The story meanders along at its own pace, told more like a western than a thriller or suspense novel.

The story felt less about Carol than about everyone else involved.
