This book was definitely my type of horror. A little strange, a little subtle, found footage, creepy shit showing up on film and something unknowable showing up in the dark that might kill you. Excellent horror stuff that Angie likes! The beginning part of it gave me "Signs" vibes.



It did seem to get a little...I don't want to say "slow", it was still creepy and mysterious...but I guess I really wanted answers and was starting to get anxious like, "All right already! Quit making this poor exhausted man fly from place to place to only get mere crumbs of evidence and answers! Just tell us already!"

+100 points because it didn't go in the direction I thought it was going.

Spoiler

-200 points because I REALLY REALLY wanted it to be aliens. I thought I had it all figured out and the thought of aliens from another dimensions coming into our world, and leaving behind those stains, to abduct the people of the cult and Kyle. That was why he would wake up hovering over the bed or have the weird dreams that he was stuck in another body! I guess skeletal damned people of cults past is scary too but once I got those "Signs" vibes I had my heart set on aliens.

Still, a great horror book that I really enjoyed! Nothing too deep, just a poor, sleep-deprived Indy film-maker being made to endure one scare after another. Classic.
