So, I'm not a superstitious person at all but I have to say I did enjoy reading all the folklore and superstitions in here, it really seems like Stine did his homework and it pays off. This is essentially a slasher and with that we get a high body count and some great gory imagery. We follow our main protagonist Sara and intermediately throughout we get chapters from the pov of lead detective on the case Garrett Montgomery. If you're a fan of R.L Stine you'll recognise a lot of his signature writing traits in here, there's also some good innovation, for example there's a chapter early on describing our lead detective arriving at a crime scene and it could have been a standard scene in a book but Stine uses a very clever writing mechanism to really engage you and place you into the protagonist psyche.
