I picked this up purely because the main character was a librarian, but it was so much more than I expected. The prose and dialogue felt effortless; I felt like I was going through everything Mara was. I enjoyed Mara’s characterisation too - the author didn’t fall into the trap of making her a total mess of a person, a trope which I never find particularly enjoyable to read.

I’m a big horror film fan so I was really excited to read this. Some of the essays were very strong (The Wolf Man’s Daughter, The Trail of His Flames, Black Body Snatchers, and Notes on Sleepaway Camp are particular standouts) but this was far too much of a mixed bag for me to say I really enjoyed it.
