Deadlock by Tim Curran
3.0
Psychological horror where we see a man, Charlie, get conned into agreeing to stay by himself overnight in a haunted ship by his loan shark simply complimenting his balls (and clearing his sizable debt, almost as sizable as his balls, which are huge).
The horror elements were creepy and well written as Charlie slowly losses his mind and teeters away from sanity over the course of the night. Despite this being a novella Charlie feels fully fleshed out, and the actions he takes while aboard the ship feel appropriate to the character. I really liked how the author held tension throughout the story as well.
