More than an Elevator!
This story is about an elevator, but it is about a lot more than that. It is about a lonely man and his lonely life. Living alone in a lonely city with his lonely self.
The elevator plays a central part of this story. But that part doesn’t come until after 70% of the book is finished. I would say that the elevator is present in only 15% of the book.
This book is slow paced and at times difficult to enjoy. Some of the chapters are very long for a short story. The book is dry and at times the atmosphere is tense. This is okay, but it doesn’t happen often enough to make me think of the story with having a mellow ambiance. This gives the book three stars.
Three stars. 💫💫💫

Another great book by Primary Hollow. This time it's a short horror story called The Elevator. Ethan, the main character goes through a series of strange events, and the death of a childhood friend that takes him back to his home town, only to be confronted by more strange and horrific events. At 78 pages, it's a great little read indeed.
