Thriller Reviews

2.5
“45 mn audiobook. Inspired by Michael Jackson's Thriller. Considering the story is inspired by Thriller, I was expecting more of a supernatural Universal Monster type of plot (like the Thriller music video), and less of an actual thriller — the human is the monster type of plot. I didn't really grasp the Michael Jackson inspiration, other than it's a thriller short-story and the use of "pretty young thing." Overall, it was suspenseful, but predictable. But, fun enough for a quick read when you need to kill 45 minutes, no pun intended. Also, great for readers who love the goodest boy doggos.”
