My Name Isn't Paul by Drew Huff

4.0

My Name Isn't Paul is such a wild, suspenseful, and fun (if you love horror) read. It was funny, trippy, weird, kinda gross, but I love all of that in a horror. This felt like a story that Stephen King and Guillermo Del Toro would love and rave about.


The Story is about Paul, who is not really Paul, he's a insect like creature that began his life eating a corpse from the inside out, wears a skin suit, and has filaments that can severe ahead or help send calmness into other people. After losing his friend tragically, he has a break down as his body is entering heat and loses himself trying to not be a "stupid bug"


I love how the author takes us into Paul's head, how it feels like you're losing your mind too as a reader, seeing things through the perspective of the earth invader trying to make it through. I love the pacing, how there's enough for me to imagine everything playing out, but sticks to the point with no filler. I'd def recommend this novella to other horror lovers.

(I received this as a arc)
