Review
Quarantine by Aaron Lebold is an extreme psychological horror read that takes place during the early days of the Covid-19 lockdown, but isolation is but one facet of the horrors on the pages.
Lebold’s true-to-life depiction of the main character’s struggle with addiction will chill you to your bones, and the horrors that spiral out from his spiral downward are impactfully, gasp-out-loud shocking. This is a very compelling read, but honestly, I was as concerned about what might happen next as I was intently curious. “Concerned?” Yes, the story and main character are disturbingly evocative.
Aaron Lebold’s stories never fail to impress—the social relevance, the skillful wordsmithing, the engaging storylines—and Quarantine is no exception. There is a whole lot of what-if realism among the gut-twisting suspense and brutality. This incredible story will haunt you for days.
