Fast-paced, incredible, and totally action-filled. Burn the Negative is a powerful cry against Hollywood child stardom, focusing on Laura Warren's return to Los Angeles to write an article about the up-and-coming series It Feeds, based on the cult classic The Guesthouse. The only thing? Nobody knows that Laura's birth name is Polly Tremaine, and she was the child star in the horror film from the 90s. She has no desire to return to Los Angeles, especially since the moment she flies into the county, things begin to get weird. Like, cursed weird. Could it be true that The Guesthouse is cursed? And how can Laura break it in order to save cast lives once the deaths begin?
Touching on topics like reclaiming one's story, child abuse, complicity, and trauma, this is just one of the most riveting books I've read all year. The cast of characters and their dynamics is unforgettable, each of them casting doubt onto the source of the apparition that appears to be so similar to The Needleman, the villain of the movie.
Even the epilogue of this novel had my jaw dropping, making it an absolutely incredible book in its entirety.
