Animosity by James Newman
4.0
The horror that exists when those you once said 'hello' to turn on you.
It's even worse when you understand that they don't care why they've turned on you.
Anger, revenge...they turn the nicest people into monsters that are worse than anything our minds can conjure up. For one, they're real.
And that's the scariest thing of all.
Andrew Holland is the protagonist in this unsettling tale, and he's a best selling horror author - a profession his neighbors deem 'unsavory,' though they don't let him know this until he finds a dead girl's body in a construction site one morning.
The rest, as they say, is rather uncomfortable history.
Deception, death, and Andrew's own paranoia are pushed to their limits in this 'right-next-door' horror novel.
It's a solid tale of what could happen if humans feel justified in their anger - and decide they can act on it. It's the blindness of rage, of grief, and what it can propel us to if closure is never found.
It's a sad tale, a horrible tale (in the best sense), and it's horror in a terrible-pit-of-your-gut feeling - it's ANIMOSITY. It's by James Newman.
And it's damn good.
