If you're after an 80s slasher in book form, this is the one for you! A great quick read with characters you can't help but like, and characters you can't help but hate. And of course, Benny Rose makes for a deeply creepy boogeyman.

What I loved
This was a gory, gross ghost story that's perfect for Halloween! I really liked the characters, even though a few started as bullies of sorts. Though this could've all been avoided if one of them was honest with their friends. The ending bit was pretty graphic, and once again, I'm thankful that I have aphantasia and can't picture anything in my mind.
