We were ghouls in a graveyard, digging up a dead man’s grave for closure. We never considered he might want to stay buried.
I love horror stories featuring technology and Todd Keisling's work has been on my TBR for way too long, so I finally decided to pick up this novella. I enjoyed it, though it moved a little slow at times despite its short page count; in the story's defense, though, I've been fighting a reading slump for a few weeks, so it's possible that it was a "me" issue.
I grew up on the darker side of the early 2000s internet and I remember photos and videos that haunt me to this day, so I found myself commiserating with these characters in a sense. I wasn't on the edge of my seat, but I liked this novella and really thought the writing had a lot to offer, so I'm looking forward to picking up more of Todd's stories soon!
