The Pale White by Chad Lutzke
4.0
Discovering this was available at kindle unlimited was a very nice surprise – Kat from paperbackdreams highly reccommended it as a wholesome horror, and I was excited to read it. It's different from what I normally expect horror to be like, all jumpscares or gore, and so it showed me how horror can be nuanced, an exploration of what we fear and recoil from, rather than pure scares.
I loved this novella's exploration of trauma: the fear of never being able to heal after something dramatic, and how trauma affects everyone differently. The writing was also really nice and cut deep. The ending felt a bit abrupt, but I liked it's wholesomeness. Even sad and heavy, this was a comforting read. I liked it.
