A mix
The disappearance of a haunted film meets an ancient folk horror. I loved loved loved this! The relationship between Sandy and Graham was so unique and really got me invested beyond my love for all the familiar tropes - plenty of mysteries start with a girlfriend or a child or a friend dying, but few star a young woman seeking to fulfill the last wish of a dear mentor who helped her build her career. Also, since I’ve started my horror novel kick, this is the first book to genuinely creep me out! I think because Campbell is a master of subtle one-liners that make your skin absolutely crawl.
