Review
A short story, only available as an ebook or audiobook, this is part of a group of shorts offered by Amazon from writers in the horror field who are currently being talked about a lot. This is my first experience with a work of Machado. The story is not unlike many classic horror stories—Poe comes to my mind—in being an fictional account presented as if an actual account, or in this case, a scholarly paper. Complete with footnotes. The story recounts one really terrifying event but leaves you wondering what really happened. Well written and engaging, but not a major work. Still definitely worth reading and I intend to dig deeper into Machado’s work.
