This Thing Between Us
by Moreno, Gus
After his wife dies unexpectedly, Thiago finds himself spiraling into a hollow existence where grief begins to manifest as something far more sinister than simple loss. What starts as a quiet meditation on mourning quickly warps into a surreal, high-stakes nightmare that challenges the boundaries of reality and sanity. The narrative feels like a fever dream, moving from the crushing weight of domestic silence to a sprawling, cosmic dread that feels both intimate and alien. Moreno refuses to offer easy answers or comfort, instead pulling you into a claustrophobic headspace where technology, memory, and the supernatural bleed into one another. This is a brutal, uncompromising look at how we process tragedy. Pick this up if you prefer your horror to be deeply psychological, existentially bleak, and willing to leave you feeling genuinely rattled long after the final page.
