Your Shadow Half Remains | 
pickI found this horror novella by Sunny Moraine a brilliantly haunting story. I finished reading this many months ago, but the story and the skill of Moraine‘s writing still linger in my thoughts. Riley proves an incredibly unreliable narrator. Normally I‘m not a fan of unreliable narrators, but Moraine skillfully uses it in a way that works for me. (1/3)
BillBlume The concept of a world where simply looking into another person‘s eyes can cause a homicidal rage and then death, and the way society adapts to this, is so disturbing. Riley comes across unhinged and that worsens as they meet a new neighbor named Ellis whose arrival coincides with someone possibly stalking and cutting off Riley‘s connection to the outside world. (2/3) 2d
BillBlume What‘s unclear is if Riley is doing it all to themselves or if Ellis is gaslighting them. It‘s such an unsettling book in the best way. (3/3) 2d

BillBlume @Susanita for real!!! That and concept for the story sold me completely. Had the pleasure of meeting Sunny at a book event for this as Fountain Bookstore. They are so damn cool! 2d
