FINALLY a book that touts itself as a horror novel and actual IS one!! When I received Ghost Eaters from Quirk Books (shout-out for the review copy) I was extremely sceptical. I have been disappointed lately with books promising thrills, chills and creepy. Wholly and pleasantly surprised...kudos and THANK YOU Mr. Chapman.

While this one has ALL the perfect vibes for Spooktober it's not just horror and ghosts. It also has a depth ingrained within the story. There is a sense of loss and a profound grief that Erin is suffocated with. She is described often as being empty and that's why she is the perfect vessel. How many of us feel this way in our own lives as times? Was not expecting this kind of insight in a horror novel.

I need this to be a movie stat!! There were a few times where I was like yep not reading this anymore until this gloomy, rainy, creepy atmosphere is gone and I am surrounded by light and brightness
