Elvira is one of my biggest influences. She was one of very few female horror icons and I wanted to be her. Getting to read where she came from and how she became the legend that she is was amazing. I laughed, I cried, and even got angry on her behalf. Reading this felt like I was listening to her speak to me, meaning she writes how she talks. Elvira also being a spooky bi icon is still the best thing to happen to us in 2021

*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.
