A Deadly One-Star Review
Emma Carpenter lives in self-imposed exile, grieving in a remote glass-walled beach house with only her golden retriever Laika for company. Her days consist of reading e-books and playing long-distance Hangman with her elderly neighbor Deek through telescopes. When Emma finishes a ninety-nine-cent horror novel called "Murder Mountain" by H.G. Kane, she's unimpressed by its predictable plot and gratuitous violence. Following her consumer instinct, she leaves a one-star review on Amazon, thinking nothing of it. But Kane responds immediately-first with a polite request to remove the review because it hurts his income, then with increasingly hostile messages when Emma refuses. What begins as a simple act of literary criticism spirals into something far more sinister. Strange occurrences pile up: a bird dies against her window, a shadowy figure appears in her bedroom, mysterious footprints appear in the sand beside her own. The glass walls that offer stunning ocean views now create a fishbowl effect-Emma can see everything outside, but anyone outside can see her too. Is she imagining things, or is someone watching her? The line between grief-induced hallucination and actual danger becomes terrifyingly thin.
