This was a pretty trippy, gritty, gruesome little horror novella about space exploration gone wrong and I really enjoyed it!
The one note I would have is to add some indicator maybe when the narrator is switching to a new member of the crew. The story switched between folks very often and without warning and sometimes it felt a bit hard to track.
The sorry was really engaging though and I felt like at each turn, the new events were exciting and added to the growing sense of dread that fell over the ship. A follow-up (maybe a full-length novel?) that delves more into the origin of the Space Person and the moon and how it came to be would be a really neat continuation of the story and one that I would read for sure!
