Scanlines was such an enjoyable read. This book really does shed light on the darkness of the human obsession with death. A ghost type story that leaves you questioning if the characters are actually crazy or if this is actually happening. Such a short read, there's no reason not to give scanlines a try. It's real, a real book about the real ways that people deal with trauma. 

Scanlines took me an hour to read.
