This also has some of my favorite biological horror aspects… I don’t want to give anything away, but I loved it.
I’ve seen a few reviews that say the ending is way too abrupt and you’re yanked out of the story. I don’t think that’s true at all. Clues are revealed throughout the entire novella about what could plausibly happen, and enough language and context clues are given to understand what’s going to happen next with all the characters… even if one may be a little ambiguous, there are enough clues there to give you a hint about what is going to happen after this novella ends.
This is a masterly crafted piece of short fiction. If you want a quick read that has well-crafted characters, a mystery plot that’s revealed at a perfect pace, and some feelings of dread and anticipation, read this.
