Unbury Carol by Josh Malerman

4.0

---

Super fun campy western horror and I really enjoyed it honestly, it definitely was not the scariest thing you’ve ever read but the vibe of this was so fun. I adored the outlaw coming to save her from her evil husband and the way she had to experience everything that was happening with a degree of awareness was chilling. 

Her mom came in clutch in the end with the custom-made coffin. The outlaw killing her husband in the end with his "magic" was a nice touch. Carol was a tragic main character that had me rooting for her the entire time. Losing her friend and being on the brink of telling someone about her secret right before falling into what could have been the last coma of her life was so tense and sad.
