*PLEASE check the trigger warnings before hand* 
I grew up loving Elvira and all things strange and unusual. Now I just love her more and admire Cassandra so much for being so bad ass.

**Definitely heed the content warnings on this book** This is one of my favorite celebrity memoirs I’ve ever read. Elvira is a life long inspiration of mine and this collection of her life stories has only emphasized that. She has done just about everything in her career and her most known work didn't take off until she was in her 30's which is uncommon for a woman in Hollywood and a perspective I really loved hearing. It's so conversational which only endeared me to her more, it felt like hearing your super cool aunts crazy life stories. Hearing about her partner at the end was just so sweet too.

adventurous funny hopeful lighthearted fast-paced

4.5

Cassandra is my kind of person. She’s got endless stories; from her time as a teenage groupie, to becoming a Las Vegas showgirl, to creating Elvira. Plus she is full of empathy, compassion, and humor. I would absolutely pick up another book, if she to continues to write.

I listened to the audiobook, which was read by Cassandra Peterson herself, and I would highly recommend it.

Only bumped it down a half point because the end felt rather rushed. I’ve noticed that’s a pattern for modern memoirs, so it wasn’t that surprising.
