Review: This is a weird book but all book by Seth are and that's why I love them so much. This was basically a love story to all horror lovers. I loved how it was tongue and cheek as well.

My only issue is that I wished it ended better. It didn't feel wrapped up fully.

Verdict: If you love horror, you'll love this.
