Haunt You to the End

by Ryan Cady

A GHOST STORY FOR THE END OF THE WORLD! In a not-so-far future rife with climate disasters and worldwide instability, an eccentric billionaire and his crew - a disgraced journalist, a radical doctor, a TV demonologist, and a squad of hard-bitten military contractors - set out to prove the existence of life after death. But even if their mission is a success, the truth behind the “most haunted place on earth” may not be the comforting revelation the world is hoping for.

Summary:

The world is falling apart – that statement is more literal than not. Billionaires are ruling – and ruining – the world. The weather is getting worse and more unpredictable. Despite this unrest, one rich man has decided that now is the perfect time to prove that there is life after death.

Thus, he assembles a team. It may be a slightly predictable team, but he is hoping to prove something to the world, right? We've got the journalist, a televised demonologist, a grizzled military group for safety, and even a radical doctor. What could go wrong?

Review:

Okay, I have a confession to make: I'm a sucker for the "journalist getting thrown into the supernatural deep-end" trope. So the second I saw Haunt You To The End, I knew I had to read it. That it also included corporate dystopian elements just made it all the more compelling.

Haunt You To The End doesn't paint a pretty picture, to say the least. Here, we see a world similar to ours, but it's falling apart. The details are within the realm of believability regarding how everything has gone wrong. It makes for a morbid and harrowing foundation for everything that will follow.

The Ghost Island is a compelling story, to say the least. I wish we had more time to explore the backstory before the horror bits crept into the forefront. Likewise, I feel like we needed to get to know all the characters a bit more – to make the impact hit harder if nothing else.

The artwork for Haunt You To The End is so intriguing. It has more of a blended effect, but it actually works really well with more of a supernatural tale. It makes you question what you're seeing, and isn't that hauntingly on-point?
