Disseverment: A Horror Story

I met this author through a Goosebumps Book Club discord, and really loved the cover design, so I grabbed a paperback to check out. 
This is well written, and precise in its word choices. There is not a single piece of unnecessary content in this novella. It starts off quickly, setting the stage where the main character is in a good place. The kind of vibe that is just immediately eerie to me, because you know with a genre tag like ‘horror' something is bound to go wrong. 
There are dark themes and traumas described in this, so I'm sure it won't be for everyone. Somehow the author takes things that are already dark, and elevates them to all new horrors. And I really liked that he did so without getting gory, overly bloody, or heavy in his descriptions. If you've ever wondered how horrifying Dexter would be if the audience wasn't designed to like him? Or if he wasn't targeting bad guys? Vivisection is not out of play here. 
Personally a 5/5*, a quick and enjoyable horror. The twist weirdly made me think of ‘Stalked by my Doctor.'
