A very trigger heavy, disturbing read. Well written, creepy and unforgettable. Lots of cursing, obscenities and gore.

No synopsis needed. You know this one. 

What I liked:

• I wanted something creepy for spooky season and wow, this delivers. 
• I've always been too chicken to watch the whole movie so I didn't know the whole story
• There’s a lot more going on than pea soup and spinning heads (def disturbing though)
• The author is an amazing narrator. Seriously, get the audio.

What I didn't like:

• Story slowed down a little toward the end
