A NEW NOVELLA FROM THE AUTHOR OF THE TURTLE BOY & KIN.

When they were kids, Gillian and John used to visit the local cemetery every Sunday after church. It was a curious place for children to frequent, but they had their reasons. The main attraction was the lofty hill that separated the cemetery from the elementary school, and the act of tumbling down it like Jack and Jill was a ritualistic escape from the abuse they were suffering at their father's hands.

It was an escape that lasted only until John's tragic death.

Now, Gillian is all grown up. Married with two children, she has managed over the years to force the trauma of her nightmarish childhood into the darkest recesses of her mind.

But lately there are dreams, and in them Gillian sees impossibly vivid reenactments of the horrors she endured as a child. Nightly, she sees John die all over again, only not in the way she remembers.

And something else is in those dreams, stalking her, a terrible figure with wire-hanger hands and a plastic bag wrapped around its rotten face. A monster whose reach starts to extend beyond the boundaries of sleep into the waking world, threatening everything Gillian holds dear.

A monster she once called Daddy.

To say this novella got to me would be an understatement! Kealan has easily cemented himself as one of my top favorite authors! This story is horrifying and chilling in so many ways. I have to add, there is mention of abuse in this story, so a trigger warning for anyone who can't read about that.

"...they have their backs turned away from the street, away from me and the nightmare that is mine alone. They stand frozen in place, staring forward. I know they are not looking at anything, and that is the point, because looking at nothing means they're not looking at me, not bearing witness to the atrocity. And if they can't see it, they can't be responsible for whatever comes of it."

This story is told from the perspective of Gillian, our "Jill" of this story. After years suffering at her father's hand, then losing her "Jack" when her little brother dies, it's understandable that Gillian has been left with what can be seen as extreme PTSD. Now married with 2 children, Gillian is suffering from insomnia and nightmares that merge into hallucinations, leaving her familial and marital relationships strained to the max. As the story's perspectives jump between the present and extremely twisted nightmares, Gillian tries to come to terms with her situation before she loses even more. The monster that haunted her childhood is a constant terror, and with her mind set on blaming the monster, Gillian sets out to try and fix things her way. Things escalate quickly, and we see the damage mental illness and childhood trauma can cause.

A fantastically creepy start, with a hell of a finish, this novella is edge of your seat, wtf is going on, did that just really happen, moment after moment. Kealan has taken horrifying events (abuse) and thrown in a worst nightmare situation that can come with suffering mental illness. What is real, and how far do you go to stop the bad things that tore your life apart from taking everything away?

I highly recommend Kealan's work for anyone who is looking for disturbing horror that seeps into your brain and never let's go.
