Come Closer

This novella was great! It's a short, gritty look at someone who is slowly losing grasp of reality and falling into a hole of self-deprecating horror. Amanda is smart, pretty, has a great job, and a stable marriage—until she starts to see an invisible friend. This invisible friend starts to haunt her dreams and make her do things she doesn’t want to do—or does she?
It is a hard book to talk about without spoilers, but early on, I think you get an inkling that this is much more than an otherworldly possession tale. The manifestations, the odd behavior, the perpetual habits, and the forbidden desires point to something hidden deep in her persona. Try as she might, she visits spiritualists, doctors, and therapists to help put her mind at ease.
What is being unlocked in her psyche to make her do these awful things? Some people try to hide these urges day in and day out, but for Amanda, it might be a little too late.
