[Novella Review] Intruder by Nick Clausen

March 22, 2020      Erica Robyn      9 Comments

Intruder by Nick Clausen Book Photo

Intruder by Nick Clausen is the type of tale that make me incredibly grateful that I have a security system at our house…

Full disclosure: I was given a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This did not affect my rating in any way.

Let’s dive in!

My Thoughts on Intruder by Nick Clausen

Okay, that cover is seriously spooky! And the tag line “TONIGHT LINDA DIES”?! I’m so in!

The story begins with poor Linda waking up on the couch. She senses that she’s not alone but tries to talk herself out of it. Then a news announcement comes on the TV of a man that escaped a psychiatric facility and is extremely volatile. As Linda goes to search the house, she realizes her initial thought was correct. Someone is in the house with her…

This story was incredibly eerie. The thought of someone breaking into my house is one of my biggest fears! The thoughts that we see going through Linda’s mind absolutely nail the anxiety-filled tension that I’ve felt quite a few times since buying our house. Luckily, we have an alarm system and I sleep much better now, but there’s always the “what if” thoughts that go through my mind…

AND THAT ENDING!

Right now, this tale is exclusive to Nick’s readers club, but keep an eye out for this one and snag it the second you can!

Thanks for reading!
What was the last tale you read in one sitting?

If you haven’t read them yet, check out my reviews for some of Nick’s other works; They Come At Night, Human Flesh, Beast, A Taste for Blood, Blind Date, Dreamland, and Dead Meat: Day 0.

    Wow. This book sounds perfectly haunting. Just right to take my mind of the current virologic landscape of the US.

I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!
