MY REVIEW

Little Brother is a quick read at 178 pages, but what it lacks in pages, it makes up for in chills and thrills. Twelve year old Leslie Adams is found standing over the dead body of a young boy. Everyone thinks she did it, but she can’t remember anything. After years spent in an institution, she’s released and heads off to college. Visions and horrors haunt her. She awakes to find bruises and cuts. Could she be self harming….or is the more to the story?

Of course there is!

Adam Cosco had me twisting and turning as I tried to figure out WTH is going on. I loved traveling a winding road that brought me up short when I reached the end. Well done, Adam. I look forward to reading more of your work.

My thanks go out to Adam Cosco for the opportunity to share my thoughts of his novella, Little Brother.

GOODREADS BLURB

Twelve-year-old Leslie Adams is found covered in blood, standing over the lifeless body of a boy named Tommy. Everyone said she did it—after all, she was the only one there when he died. The most terrifying part? Leslie doesn’t remember a thing.

Years later, she still can’t escape the shadow of that day. Now in college, Leslie is desperate for a fresh start… until the blackouts return. Night after night, she wakes from these fugue states with fresh bruises and unexplained cuts on her skin. Doctors insist she’s self-harming—coping with repressed trauma. But deep down, Leslie knows something far more sinister is at play.

Disturbing visions begin to haunt echoes of childish laughter in empty rooms, the silhouette of a familiar little boy lingering just out of sight. Leslie fears the horror that claimed Tommy never really left. With each missing moment, the darkness inside her grows—stronger, bolder.

And when the truth finally claws its way to the surface, Leslie must confront a reality more terrifying than any childhood nightmare. Because the real horror isn’t what she might have done back then… it’s what’s been hiding inside her.
