Title - Code Blue
Author - Joe Boi
Joe Boi brings a unique voice to horror fiction with Code Blue, a novel that blends psychological trauma with supernatural dread in a way that feels both terrifying and meaningful. This is not your typical jump-scare story—it digs deeper, exploring the emotional and mental toll of war, survival, and grief through a protagonist who feels painfully real.
Ariel Arcardo isn’t just fighting monsters; she’s battling her own fractured mind. A former Army medic with PTSD, her journey through the nine haunted hospital floors feels like descending into the core of her subconscious. The setting—a once-safe space turned hellish—adds an eerie intimacy to the terror. Every twist in the hallway, every vanishing colleague, pushes the line between reality and nightmare.
What’s impressive about Joe Boi’s writing is how he keeps the horror relentless without sacrificing character development. You care about Ariel, not just because she’s in danger, but because she’s been in danger for years—long before this one night. The demons are frightening, yes, but the emotional weight behind them makes the horror personal.
If you enjoy horror that makes you feel as much as it frightens you, Code Blue is worth diving into. It’s a journey through fear, memory, and courage—one that stays with you after the final chapter.
Rating - 5/5
