Review: Call Us If You Get Possessed

Call Us If You Get Possessed by Chris Burton
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Funny, quirky, confusing, frustrating, and at times annoying.

Those are my thoughts about this novella.

It is supposed to be horror, but I just didn't see it. What I did think was that it was more of a government cover-up, conspiracy theory-themed story, which was cool with me.

I liked Will and Samantha and felt that they worked well in their roles. I would have loved to read more about their workplace and learned more about the results of their job, but after reading the letters/diary at the end of the novella, I can see why we didn't learn more. I really would have loved to hear what became of Sam and Will, and I'm sure the author hinted at it, but perhaps I'm just tp lierally minded to see it.

Summary: "“The office was a protected area, but it was impossible to cover every attack surface. Sometimes the phenomenon can spread from the caller, through the wires, radio waves, and cell towers, straight to the other side of the phone call.”

During an unfortunate way home, Samantha becomes a witness to something she should have never seen. Now, she has no choice but to take a job at a call center that helps people with paranormal problems—or at least, tries to.

After failing to handle a particularly unsettling call, Samantha discovers that whatever was haunting her caller has now latched onto her. She's in grave danger and all alone in this mess.
