I Found Puppets Living In My Apartment Walls (I Found Horror)

I Found Puppets Living in My Apartment walls was recommended to me alot. I was so excited for my library to get this novella I started it right away and was very disappointed. I loved how weird and out there this book was, and the concept was creepy but the execution was poor in my opinion. The characters, especially Brittany, were underdeveloped and didn’t feel like real people. The characters were uninteresting and I did not feel connected or worried for any of them, which is always a let down for me. Along with the boring and lifeless characters the plot really didn’t make any sense to me. I could see where the author tried to explain what was happening, and how the puppets came to life but it fell very short. Black magic, ok that’s how so get over it was the explanation and the ending left so much unexplained I honestly would have trouble explaining this to anyone. While I found the book mediocre I still enjoyed the weirdness of it, which is why I gave it 2 stars and not 1. I will also read another novella by Farthing to give his writing another chance. Would I recommend this? If you’re looking for a short read that’s pretty weird and don’t mind the faults I’d say give it a try.

Very short and quirky read! I think it was pretty good for how abstract it is for horror in my opinion. That being said the author delivers some blows and articulates his scenes to capture the feeling of terror very well.
