Horror

by Polly Schattel

When a disgruntled adjunct faculty teacher decides to get revenge on the head of her department, she begins a dark (and darkly comic) journey into the cracks between modern society and the secret depravity that lies underneath. She has to navigate the demons of technology, creativity, and Hell itself, but soon she must face the deepest, darkest horror of them all: her own personal failures.

REVIEW

5 out of 5

After reading this, I had to sit back and wonder what on earth did I just read, and I mean that in the best way possible. It starts off mundane enough, and just when I was beginning to wonder where this was going the story picked up, No spoilers, but you get hit with the most amazing twist before the story is over, and while the first half might go slowly, the second half picks things up. It’s hard to believe this is such a quick read, yet contains so much that it leaves you reeling at the end. It somehow manages to entwine classic and existential horror all in one. I’ll be adding this author to my “need to read more” list.
