Kill Creek

Really wanted to read this, since it seems like such a fun premise. I just found it really annoying that the author couldn't help but mention the main female character's breasts multiple times as if it adds anything to her character or the story at all. Maybe I'm missing something, but I found it unnecessary. I also had a really hard time getting into the story or caring about any of the characters. Maybe I'll come back and attempt to finish this one day. But it's not likely.

The Haunting of Hill House + The Shining + The Last Broadcast Justin Wainwright has been blessed with a filthy rich dad. He is able to start up a passion project, a website meant to bring new fans to the horror genre. He comes up with a sure fire way to make his project the next big thing. He invites the four most influential horror authors for an interview to be live-streamed Halloween night. However, there’s a fifth star, and the biggest. Kill Creek. It’s a house that urban legends are made of. I ADORED this book! I got off gabbyreads’ rec. but she’s right. WHY don’t more people talk about this book? This reminds me of the horror I grew up with: classic King, Shirley Jackson, Edgar Allen Poe. Where the scares come not from the gore, but what is unseen and has to be guessed. There is plenty of blood and guts to go with the psychological scares, don’t worry!! Thomas did a masterful job in character building. Each character, primary, secondary, and even the ones we never meet, are completely fleshed out. I didn’t want this book to end!! Buy this for yourself or someone who wants classic horror. Or, if you’re twisted, get it for a budding author.

Absolutely fantastic, cinematic read. I couldn't put it down and the unnerving spooky bits are a red hot slow burn... loved it, highly recommend. Also, I believe Showtime is developing a series currently in the works to bring this masterpiece to life on the small screen! :)
