Rollator from Hell
Marnie thought her life was over after becoming disabled.
Moving in with her grandmother was humiliating. Losing her job was devastating. But watching her independence slip away was the worst of it all. Even her favorite holiday, Halloween, didn’t feel like hers anymore.
Instead of costumes and parties with her old friends, she was stuck at home with her bestie, a horror movie marathon, and a bowl of candy for the trick-or-treaters.
But then her grandmother gifts her a rollator walker, swiped from a dead friend’s estate. At first, it felt like safety, balance, and a shot at independence.
The only problem?
That thing has eyes. And a mouth. And it wants Marnie gone.
Short, dark, and full of Halloween frights, Rollator from Hell what if the very thing that’s meant to help you is actually out to get you?

Quick, fun read.
Great for a lighter, yet absurd escape from reality for an hour or so.
I could've very well enjoyed this as a full length novel

I had the privilege of having an early look at this one and I can confirm this is appropriate for October fun. It’s bite-sized horror like the candy bars you would get door to door when trick-r-treating.
I rolled through the pages of this spooky take on an ordinary item intended to provide ease in everyday life. This is a perfectly ridiculous premise where the horror of it all is taken very seriously.

At just 64 pages, this little chapbook packs quite the punch!
Marnie recently moved in with her grandmother after a fairly recent diagnosis of MS (multiple sclerosis). When her grandmother gifts her a Rollator taken from her best friend’s estate after her passing, Marnie discovers the Rollator isn’t quite what it seems.
I absolutely ADORED this book. It was dark but comedic, had disability rep that I LOVE to see, and had a little bit of sapphic romance thrown in.
Ever since I saw Mo announce this one, I was eager to read it. Though I don’t have MS, I do have disabilities that make mobility difficult for me. Having been told earlier this year a cane was in my best interest due to my lack of mobility, I’ve struggled with that. And to see that represented in this little chapbook was truly amazing.
Mo does a phenomenal job of telling a story of a young woman struggling with her diagnosis and her deteriorating mobility, showing the clear signs of what most of us struggle with. Seeing that wrapped up in a Halloween, dark comedic book makes me happy.
Once again, Mo does a phenomenal job of writing a relatable story and character, all while bringing some laughter along with it.
I 100% recommend this for a short Halloween read, and hope to see Mo write more with disability representation!!

A Fun Jaunt
Every time I buy something at the thrift store, I'm worried something like this is going to happen. So, thanks for reigniting that fear. I'm sure it'll be fine.
Jokes aside, this was a fun story about a woman with MS and some mild sapphic romance...and, you know, a possessed walker.
Nothing of note to really say about it, except that I enjoyed it. Ultimately, its not memorable or leaves a mark, but just a creepy Halloween story.
4.25 out of 5 severed thumbs-up.
