Remains by Andrew Cull

5.0

"You reached into the darkness with all your heart, and what have you pulled from it?"

Remains is Andrew Cull's first novel, and it's a great read. This story is creepy and unsettling, and it will stick with you after you are done. The foreword sets you up for a dark and spooky story, and I was excited to see what was going to happen.

It does take a little bit to get going, but it's so worth it once it does. Usually I struggle with slow burn books, but Remains worked for me. It took me a minute to get fully invested, but I was interested in the story the entire time.

I'm not going to say a lot about the story details because you deserve to experience this one on your own. I do want to say that this isn't really a fun read, and it deals with some heavy topics. It got more violent and grim than I expected, so if the synopsis sounds like something that would seriously bother you, I might stay away from this one.

There were some seriously creepy parts, and this is a great grief horror story (and, just because it makes y'all mad, it's a better story than Hereditary). Bones and Remains are both good and unsettling books, and I can't wait to see what Andrew Cull does next!
