Nana by Mark Towse

dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No

  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

This was an absolute fever dream of a novella.

Great atmosphere, a lot of grossness around bodily fluids, weeping sores, flaps of skin… Remisiscent of Braindead in some parts, and with flashes of humour (although nowhere near Braindead levels of comedy).

I felt like the story suffered from some pacing issues - the talent show section felt especially dragged out and became tedious. 

Overall, this felt more about the ‘ick’ and the sexual content than the actual scary/creepy kind of horror I was expecting after reading other people’s reviews.

3.5 stars, rounded up.
