Remains by Andrew Cull

2.0

A short novella about grief and the power it can hold over the mind, this was a quick read that unfortunately fell flat for me. It read like a horror movie captured on the page - only this was a standard fare horror movie with no tension or fear to be found. It was rather formulaic in its “scares”, and the story it told didn’t seem to go much of anywhere until the end of the story. I wish this book had tackled its subject matter in a less direct manner, I feel subtlety would have helped the ending pack more of a whallop. As it stands now, I was underwhelmed and just kind of bored.
