Unboxed
by Briana Morgan
I've been so excited for this, as someone who adores technology-themed horror, and it did not disappoint! The play format was so interesting — I've never read a play outside of classics, and it created such a rich atmosphere that I felt like I was watching a movie in my head (which isn't something I can say about many books, personally!).
I loved the idea of this dark web mystery box unboxing because it's something I could so easily see becoming an IRL trend, and I enjoyed how authentic the vlogger celeb aspects felt — Zipper's relationship suffering, doing everything for the views, and needing to find a balance or make a decision between his career and his life.
The only thing I would have changed is that I wish this story had been longer so we could have had more back story on the Boxer, because I was so intrigued by his presence in the story and think he would've been a really creepy villain with more screen time! That said, I still really enjoyed this short and highly recommend it.
