Those You Killed by Christopher Badcock
3.0
Ghostly astronauts.. a series of murders.. a missing bag of heroin.. if that doesn’t sound interesting, I’m afraid you’re just dull. Those you Killed by Christopher Badcock, whilst being an eerie and atmospheric horror novel in its own right, is a poignant exploration on the consequences and dangers of addiction, well, and staying in your dodgy friend’s cabin in the middle of a secluded lake.
Elwood Cathis has struggled with his heroin addiction for a while now. At first it was to inspire his horror novels, but alongside his wife, daughter and friends his career prospects have vanished to. After thinking long and hard about himself, Elwood is staying at his “friend” Casper’s cabin in a secluded town in an attempt to get clean. Maybe it’s the fact he’s numbing the pain with liquor and weed, maybe it’s his withdrawal symptoms, or maybe he’s just plain mad, but something is telling him he’s not alone.
