A fast paced holiday alien slasher.

Despite being very juvenile in its writing style, this was a fun little read. I wanted more info on our Alien friend, as our human characters were lacking and hard to care about.

This was a fast paced read with decent tension but it could have been a lot better. All of the POVs felt the same to me (even the dog!) and nothing really surprising happens. The writing style is pretty simple and uninteresting and there were a few obvious errors (misspelled or missing words).

The Visitor by Sergio Gomez was advertised for me as a suggested read and I purchased it immediately based off the cover art. Once I got it and realized it was an indie author, I was even more stoked. I don’t know why but I’m apparently really attached to holiday horror reads this year (because I have even more). Holiday cheer? Holiday fear? 

This novella takes place during a terrible snowstorm on Christmas Day. What starts as a possible misfortune-to-celebration story turns dark before you know it. One of my favorite things about the story is the otherworldly scifi feel from this particular visit…I won’t say more, you’ll have to read it for yourself, but this holiday horror is a wonderful, bloody Christmasy adventure. A quick, easy read to add to the collection.
