Quick Book Review—What Doesn’t Kill You by Ken Brosky

This is a solid and imaginative piece of horror, maybe taking its inspiration from a creature in Greek mythology. The story begins with a very successful woman, responsible for creating a social media app called TheBuzz, returning home to her dead end town to give them a gift. Of course things turn incredibly bad quickly, once the gift — a statuesque female like creature with a beehive for a head, comes to life. 


The only way to survive this queen and her protective drones is to literally kill her. Because, according to successful businesswoman Emma, your perseverance in killing the thing proves you’re special. It proves that you have what it takes to break free of the strangling hold of a small town like Seven Sisters and to transform into something bigger than your weaknesses, into something successful. 

But as you might guess, killing this monster isn’t easy. It regenerates in a unique way, and if you do succeed in “killing it," be prepared for the truly unexpected consequences. Bee careful what you wish for… see what I did there? (I’ll show myself out…)

You can find a copy of What Doesn't Kill You at AMAZON or direct from the publisher, TIMBER GHOST PRESS.
