I don&#8217;t think the plot would have coped with being padded out to being a longer story though, but the novella length means the writer was able to go into enough extra detail to make it more interesting. A lot of the story much happens, with short sections of actual action as such, which might have gotten old with a longer book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It does come from a private publishing company, <a href=\"https:\/\/edenbooksociety.com\/\">Eden Book Society<\/a>, who only publishes horror novellas and all of the authors are published under a  pseudonym.
