Obsessed
Published by Britt , 2 years ago
I purchased this book with very little interest in reading it as a whim. When I did finally pick it up I was obsessed. It kept me at the edge of my seat the entire book.
Excellent Psychological Sci-Fi Horror
Published by Kay VanAntwerpen , 3 years ago
Great, queer, engaging sci-fi horror with a heart.
One thing to be aware of -- you may be a little disappointed if you're hunting down a creature feature in the vein of Alien or The Descent. The Luminous Dead isn't a story about monsters (though some play a MINOR role). It's a psychological horror, and a lot of the fear is derived from isolation, uncertainty, and forced intimacy. It plays with the narrators conceptions of the world around her, and her ability to trust anyone outside of herself. For anyone who has experienced the isolation that can follow a serious trauma, this will ring true.
