The Ladder Man by Angela Archer
4.0
I'm reading all of the noms for the Ladies of Horror Fiction 2020 awards. So far I'm loving reading these short, horrific novellas in July. Who knew?
The Ladderman is a deadly thing that comes to take lives when a chant is sung. This had some super spooky moments. I can't remember the last time I read something that didn't really have a main character, but it really works here (otherwise how could we be with certain characters when the Ladderman comes for them?) It reads like a horror movie.
It's very fast-paced and starts off running. Would I like for it to be longer and to get to know the characters a little better? Maybe. I'll have to see what else Archer has in the future.
