Classic horror movies always play a role in culture and how some of celebrate Halloween. From the classics of Nosferatu to the cult classics of Halloween and Nightmare on Elm Street, we wouldn’t be the same without them. This novel is a nod to the timelessness of horror films. I enjoyed the back and forth POV and timelines, they add a sense of confusion that I felt fed the anxiety in the story. The classic babysitter trope was a win for me, but doesn’t do what you expect! Overall a fun, quick read for those devotees of Horror.
