Meh, the monster isn't really a monster, the townsfolk are the true monsters. Boring and unoriginal.

Audiobook. Fun Halloween read , kinda basic language but good plot for listening to while driving.

Review to come, but I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Definitely recommend for spooky season.

Easily the worst horror novel I’ve read since “Sunglasses After Dark”. It reads like something that would spawn from a Tumblr writing prompt. The visual of the pumpkin guy driving a car is funny for approximately one page until it becomes an actual plot point and not some one-off weird gag. Even worse, this strays into the dreaded realm of Dark Fantasy, a subgenre that just doesn’t work for me. This is all to say that it makes complete sense that Netflix’s execs gave the green light to adapt this into an Original.

4.5 stars!

This book is the absolute perfect read for Halloween. It feels nostalgic and comforting in a way, while still being a horror. It was definitely spooky, but I never actually felt scared while reading it. More intrigued, in a good way.

I'm excited to watch the movie now, while already knowing it won't live up to the print version
