Reviewed for MonsterLibrarian.com
Better Off Alone is definitely a horror bite, clocking in at about 40 pages, that flirts with the idea of a good story more than delivering it. Set in a post zombie uprising world, the main character Nell escapes her basement stronghold after an attack and stumbles into a band a survivors with a dark secret. She wants to rescue Todd, the man who kept her hopes up over the last month through email, but first she has to survive her rescuers.
Better Off Alone is ultimately incomplete. There are many potentially interesting things mentioned, but then abandoned, and even the description and storytelling itself feels unfinished. Sfetsos flirts with a good story here, but doesn't quite deliver. As for it's place in collections, those libraries with booming digital collections and lendings might find this tale popular, especially if zombie stories are in high demand as well. But if not then it's best to wait for Sfetsos's next published work, of which there will no doubt be more.
Contains: some gore
