Campy, dramatic, hilarious, thrilling horror novel about the power of friendship and demonic possession. The 80s theme is hilarious and well done.

I’ve heard people go on and on about how great this book is, and I was floored by the homophobia, queer baiting and racism. Never again. Don’t engage with this garbage.
