Horror Story by Carmen Maria Machado
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This morning, I spotted a link for this story on my Twitter feed and decided to check it out.
It's not long, just over 1,000 words, but it packs quite a punch.
Essentially, it's the story of a haunted house. About what happens to the couple living there, and how the house is affected by whatever freaky stuff is going on around them...
Like I said, I quite liked this story. The ambiguity about what's going on gives the narrative a surreal quality that kept me glued to the screen until I reached The End. It felt almost nightmarish. The writing is also lovely, the words used--and how they were used--helped paint a creepy story.
One that'll resonate for days.
I'll definitely have to read more stories by this author.
