Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live
I really enjoyed this book! Not only is it a great creep witchy story, I really loved its commentary on how we treat the women of horror.
I think this has a really great parallel to what fans demand from our Scream Queens, Final Girls. How many of them get trapped into their rolls, who we don’t let age, move on or escape our favourite Films.

While its not all horror fan commentary, Chapman also weaves are captivating and creepy ghost story, and honestly who doesn’t love a good ghost story told around campfires?

If your looking for a good witching and haunting I would highly recommend this one

now it's no Whisper Down The Lane , but Clay is a brilliant writer .

Spooky yet campy , beautifully written yet self referential in only the best ways , and interesting and quick yet somehow a slow burn .

the odd time warp effect was a fun twist towards the end of a seemingly cut and dry ghost story , but wasn't needed to keep me invested . 

Final Girl Support Group had similar intentions, but Clay is a man who actually knows how to write women and POC .

i loved the vibes of this one . Amber and Jessica will be with me for a while .

just kinda ends 🤷🏻‍♀️ really dug the concept and parts of the execution. got very repetitive for me tho, and not in the fun way as i think was intended.
