Your Shadow Half Remains by Sunny Moraine
4.0
What a book. A dark fever dream with a pandemic backdrop and chilling prose, this book is going to remain in my head for quite some time.
Along the same ton of Ian Reid’s ‘I’m Thinking of Ending Things’ and the style of Josh Malerman, Sunny Moraine created a fresh and terrifying novella.
There’s a virus out there and Riley has holed herself up in her house for longer than she can even remember. She hasn’t even seen her family.
Then, a neighbor appears and she’s trying to figure out if she can handle being alone anymore.
There are so many questions still spinning in my head, but the author really nailed the dread and panic of what it was like going through the 2020 COVID pandemic. In a way, this is more gruesomely terrifying because I lived through isolation.
Truly, a gem of a novella. One I won’t soon forget. Thanks to the publishers who gave me this e-copy in exchange for my honest review. All the opinions are my own.
