In a future not so distant from ours, Riley has not seen another persons face for years. Time has lost all meaning and if you want to survive you won’t look into another’s eyes. When a new neighbour moves in, Riley is hesitant - getting to know someone could mean a gruesome death. But Ellis makes her feel safe. Ellis makes her feel seen. Ellis makes her want to look.
I read this in one go on the treadmill at the gym while I was getting my 10K steps and I am sure people saw me wince and stare at the book in disgust at certain points. Honestly, exactly what I wanted from a disturbing little novella.
Off the bat, this book let the feeling of isolation seep into you. I couldn’t shake the unsettled atmosphere, it was very effective. It had that very early days of COVID-19 loneliness seep through the pages. As you keep reading you’re wondering if you’re losing your mind or if the subtle nuances are truly important to the plot.
This queer, dystopian, horror novella was a perfect mix of dread and suspense. Thank you @tornightfire for sending me the ARC, 4.5✨.
