I’ve been dabbling in unconventional formatting for many years now and this novella seemed like a natural progression for me and my work. I shudder when I think of accidentally stumbling upon something that wasn’t meant for me to see-something horrible, something truly disturbing. That’s profoundly unsettling to me as a highly desensitized lover of horror. The reason I chose this particular format for the novella was because I wanted the reader to feel voyeuristic in their reading, as if they were reading something they knew they shouldn’t be reading. I admire any opportunity to tell a story in a way that might be unique for the reader. I’ve always been fascinated by books with unconventional formatting. What inspired you to write the novella in the format that you did? *Thank you so much to the author for the digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
THINGS HAVE GOTTEN WORSE SINCE WE LAST SPOKE SUMMARY FULL
Read this novella for a violent, wild ride full of debauchery and horror. The ending is a masterclass of true horror and one that readers won’t easily forget. I recommend reading this book in one sitting – it’s much more impactful that way as the tension and dread increases with each passing page. It’s told in epistolary format of email exchanges and IM’s, making the reader feel that extra layer of voyeurism that ramps up the creepiness factor. The writing is very engaging and very vivid, creating a visceral rollercoaster that will leave you wondering WTF did you experience. As the days go by the two women forge a tight relationship which slowly descends to sadomasochism and careens to absolute horrific madness. I know, I found the way the two protagonists virtually met strange for a horror novella, but it was very intriguing how their bond slowly grows. This dark tale begins with Agnes looking to sell an antique apple peeler and Zoe contacting her to buy said peeler. What have you done today to deserve your eyes? A whirlpool of darkness churns at the heart of a macabre ballet between two lonely young women in an internet chat room in the early 2000s-a darkness that threatens to forever transform them once they finally succumb to their most horrific desires.
