Ellen’s son hates her. Her husband wants a divorce. Her only solace is in her work.

A nightshift at the morgue turns sinister when bodies start arriving at an alarming rate. The drivers are weird, sarcastic, and seem to be playing some kind of game. The cadavers are even stranger.

With darkness closing in on all sides. Ellen must venture into a horrifying parody of her hometown to save her family before they’re lost forever.

Burden is a terrifying tale of guilt, grief, and betrayal.

What a wild and bizarre ride. I loved it!

That was a wild ride. It went a completely different direction than I thought it would be. I was unnerved at the thought of the main character working for a morgue. The first third was tense similar to the atmosphere of the beginning of autopsy of Jane doe. You get a false sense of security like oh just an average morgue story , strange body strange things I’ve read this before. Then it’s just bizarre and you’re immersed into the story. Then the ending was crazier so many twists. The audio was great the actress really brought the main character alive. I laughed aloud at the noise she made at a certain time stamp. I played it twice lol

Burden

Spooky, bizarre, and much deeper than I expected. Weird things start happening out of nowhere to the very intriguing main character, Ellen. I listened to the audiobook and had to backtrack sometimes to try to figure out how we ended up in such an strange scene with peculiar things happening.

The audiobook narrator brought Ellen and the story to life very well. The pacing was great! I wanted to keep listening to hopefully figure it all out in the end. At first listen, the ending seemed too simple but after I listened again and thought about it I was more satisfied. I see that it could have multiple interpretations and that goes well with the story. It’s kind of the perfect ending.

highly reccomend

This was such a fun and bizarre book.
For how short it is it does such a good job in keeping the atmosphere, and characters that are developed.
I wish it had kept its mood until the very last second, but the rest of the book is just so unusual that I don't mind.

Beware of What Lurks ....

Thank You Matt Duchossoy for gifting this really skin Crawling Psychological Thriller.

This Disturbing short story is filled with Jumpscares and Funny Humor to Break Up the mounting tension . The Twist was really surprising . It really is a tear jerker. Have a box of keenix near by.

It gave me strong Unsettling Feelings like the movie Last Shift 2014 did in the beginning of this story. As it moves deeper into the story, a feeling of claustrophobia starts to creep up starting from your toes like in the movie Pontypool 2008. There are Red Herrings if you pay really close attention to the Brilliantly written Twist. I highly recommend this for everyone that enjoys a good scare.

Creepy and tense from start to finish …

This novella was creepy and tense from start to finish. It really keeps you on edge and at times disoriented. For a novella length story the characters were well developed. Engaging, unpredictable and hard to put down. I would strongly recommend this book to fans of thrillers and horror. I did an immersion read with both the kindle and audiobook but if you are going to choose one I would recommend the audiobook. Solid performance.
