“A ghost story, but not the conventional sort.”
This book is dark, but the author’s afterword also shows how important it is.

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.

I’ve been burned by a lot of small-publication and self-published horror lately so I was skeptical coming into this book. However, it far exceeded my expectations. This one is a heartbreaker too. We don’t get a happy ending, but we know that from the start. It’s all about the journey.
