A fun read! Very similar to the movie that was made based on it. A staple for horror fans, and for good reason!

2.0

I liked it a little more than the movie, which isn’t really saying much. Could have used more Cenobites lore though, they’re iconic and absolutely rule.

In the movie, Kirsty was Rory’s daughter. In the book, it seems she’s a friend that’s in love with him? I hate that change so much.
