REVIEW
5 out of 5
I knew from the opening I was going to enjoy reading this – and I wasn’t disappointed. Francis has a unique gift for perfectly recreating the feel of a classic horror movie, and I enjoyed this from start to finish. You get drawn in by the vivid, emotionally charged imagery. I felt like I had stepped right into one of the 80s era horror flicks I loved as a teen. This isn’t your typical horror novel, I’d push it more towards pulp horror (not a bad thing). The story moves along at a good pace, and keeps the chills coming in waves. I will warn you – it can get graphic with the gore and violence. The POV jumps around a bit, but it’s not jarring, is easy to follow, and fits in with the 80s horror movie vibe.
