- Creeping dread via setting not jumpscares
- Flawed misfits bonding in macabre isolation
- Gothic fungal horror w/ literary elegance
- Tight novella—immersive escape, zero bloat
If Graveyard Shift taught you to crave dread that seeps rather than screams, this novella delivers that same intoxicating fog—only now it's spores, stone, and something alive in the walls of a crumbling estate. Kingfisher builds tension through whispered biology and decaying elegance, letting your unease compound with every page turned. The prose sparkles with the same literary wit Rio wields, but here it's sharpened on Gothic bone and fungal bloom, perfect for readers who dissect symbolism between midnight and dawn.
You'll find that same misfit camaraderie here—flawed souls bonding over the inexplicable, trading barbs while the darkness closes in. It's intimate, raw, and refreshingly queer without fanfare.
This is dread that seeps rather than screams, and it will ruin your sleep in the best possible way.
What Readers Are Saying
"I didn't have a problem with Alex's narration. The book is awesome and absolutely worth reading. I lent it to a friend after finishing it since we're into the same kinds of horror, and I'm stoked for the sequel." — [deleted], Reddit
"It's not her best but the premise is interesting and the end explanation is worth it. I'd keep going. I think she's experimenting with the pronoun business and of course this is one of her retellings so she's trying to make it sound like the original which was of a pretentious era." — Shanstergoodheart, Reddit
"I loved this book but the narrator can be quite conversational!" — LittleCricket_, Reddit
