Wow. Just wow.

I got Come Closer after hearing about it on Talking Scared podcast with Sadie Hartmann & I am so glad I read. This is a beautifully haunting book.

Come Closer follows architect Amanda who has a beautiful loft & a strong marriage. She slowly falls away from herself after hearing a strange tapping in her home. Tapping turns into a strong inner dialogue that she soon comes to realize it’s not her at all. When she starts seeing and communicating with a demon, Amanda quickly looses all of her faculties.

Gran is an incredibly gifted writer. Although this was a quick read, it was wholly captivating. Much of this story, especially towards the end, is left to interpretation. Typically I wouldn’t be so fond of this, but it made this story that much scarier. This was such an eerie read. A must for any horror fans, especially those who want a twist on the classic possession story.

5/5!
