NETGALLY Review - I gave this "book" four stars simply because it doesn't quite live up to its title. I would classify this more as a short story possible novella, but certainly not a full-length book.
The plot is a good one, the characters likable, but we, the reader, don't really get to know them aside from their sexual orientation and relationship status.
Some parts were very spooky and unsettling, and it definitely reads as old-school horror. Gruesome, though? Not really.
This is an ideal story for the old-school horror enthusiasts. It's a fun, quick read that is highly enjoyable!
However, it feels more like a prequel to the actual book, and personally, I hope that R.N. Cogley returns to Killimercy.
