Podcaster Paul returns home after catching wind of his friend having committed suicide in the wreckage of his old home. Paul begins interviewing to find out the truth about his friend's suicide and to hopefully have some podcast worthy content. Paul soon starts a downward descent into uncovering forgotten memories and realizations.
This was a fast-paced atmospheric supernatural horror. Dark, sinister, and mysterious, I was eating this book up. When I read the description, I was immediately locked in. I knew I had to read this and I'm so glad that this didn't disappoint me. I think I would like to reread this once it's published and I'm able to hold the physical copy in my hands. I think this would be amazing as an audiobook too, so maybe I'll need to do a physical copy and audiobook combo once this story is published.
Highly entertaining, incredibly gripping from start to finish, and quick. There really wasn't much to complain about.
I'm not sure why but I've been really into books about horror podcasts recently which is ironic because I don't like to listen to podcasts. I would definitely listen to this podcast though!
