I listened to this one while waiting in an especially long Chick-fil-A line, and I think it was pretty good. I'm always especially interested in realistic horror and I think this novella takes an important look into mental health and the very real terror of losing your mind. It's more depressing than it is scary. I don't know if this story is going to stick with me for as long as I anticipated, but I would be interested in rereading it to see if I catch anything more the second time around.
