Burn the Negative by Josh Winning

4.0

---

A 'cursed' '90s horror movie gets a remake, and the surviving child star is the journalist that has to write about it? That's the premise of Burn the Negative, which starts off with a bang. Laura Warren has been haunted by her time as a child actress on the set of The Guesthouse - a film where most of the people attached to it died - and is sent by her editor to cover the remake currently happening in California. From the moment she touches down stateside, freak accidents and tragedy follow her. Is the Needle Man, the villain from The Guesthouse, really back? Or is something more sinister at work? With a strong start, the book powers through, reading like a classic slasher, but fell apart at the end for me. Still, for a good old school horror fan, this was worth the time.
