Edited to add: cursed film genre isn't my favorite (though I have read some that fall into this subgenre that are quite compelling), and this didn't really compel me to enjoy it more than I do. Four young folks create a film that is art-house, disturbing, and never fully released. Many years later, Hollywood wants to "reboot" the film, of which three scenes have ever actually been seen, and involve the antagonist/boogeyman of the film into its recreation in one way or another. As a result, he reflects on the original creation of the film, what went right, and what went very wrong.
I found this novel to be fairly disjointed, not near as compelling as I'd hoped, and not the right way for me to engage. Really just didn't do it for me, but many folks I know who enjoy this author - may give another novel a try in the future, but this one just really wasn't for me.
