Book Review: Telecommuting

Amazon Cover

Telecommuting by L. Marie Wood

BOOK BLURB ON AMAZON

Working from home has its perks, being able to attend meetings in your pajamas chief among them. But when the house you occupy all day is empty – when the only voice you hear after work comes through television speakers, it can get a little old.

Unless you like it that way.

And Chris did like it that way

… until the whispering started.

Telecommuting is a modern psychological horror story set in what could be your town, your street, your house. The lyrical slow burn is subtle; the terror in this tale sneaks up on you before you know it.

 

MY REVIEW

Home safe home. That is where comfort and family is, where you lay down your burdens, unless your potential family leaves you the moment you move into the house AND you telecommute to work.

Now your work environment invades – the bad coworkers, the off-hour requirements, the being “on the job” in what should be your safe place. And no one to break you out of that mode, no time – like a commute – to change your mindset.

Telecommuting fails at creating safe boundaries between work and not-work.

It’s in your house, your home, your safe place. With no way to turn.it.off.

Great slow-burn modern psychological horror.
