fight for her life. She doesn't stand a ghost of a chance.
REVIEW
If
you’re not a horror fan, stay far far away from this book. It will give you chills
and might keep you awake a few nights. I, on the other hand, am a big fan of
the horror genre, so naturally I loved this 15-minute, quick read novella. Part
of an anthology, “848” preyed on my worst fears and as horrifying as it was, I
couldn’t stop reading. As someone who suffers from claustrophobia and a fear of
falling elevators, what the main character had to endure was absolutely
terrifying. The thought of lying helpless at the bottom of an elevator shaft in
an abandoned building, is enough to give anyone nightmares. What really kept me
rooting for this character was her will to survive and in the short space of
only 28 pages, the author had me experiencing the same agonizing fear the main
character did.
This
ghost story is the perfect bedtime read, but I have to warn you again that if
horror is not your thing, you will find this short story quite disturbing. For
me, it was well worth the read and a terrifyingly thrilling fifteen minutes of
my time.
