Loved the 80s vibes and the general premise but for being such a short book it felt like a pain to pick it back up each time and it didn't explore some things like I wanted it to.
The beginning was fine but around the halfway point it got really weird. I think this would have worked better in a short story format.
Wonderful read for Christmas time!! This book was better than expected for a holiday horror story. Thoroughly had a good time.
Great potential, only partially realized. A young woman becomes a senior editor at a publishing house. Weird stuff happens.
The good:
-I enjoyed the conversational writing style and the meta concept of a horror book about a horror editor.
-I liked Lussi, the protagonist.
-The book has a creepy basement in it, and creepy basements are scary!
-Fun 80s references!
The not so good:
-I, more or less, figured out what was going on well before the end of the book.
-Some of the characters behaved in unbelievable ways and the plot was sometimes a bit too convenient.
Overall it's a fun Christmas horror book. It's worth a read if you're in the mood for a holiday horror book. 3.5 stars.
