The good: I love an audiobook with a full cast and sound effects. I know it’s not for everyone, but that radio play style is something I really enjoy. This book includes the script of the titular horror movie as well as past and present day, and I tend to eat that stuff up. I didn’t love this book, but the style had me getting through it in a couple days on audio. A couple characters were really interesting and I would have liked to know more about them. 
The bad: the MC is not one of those interesting people. And he really could have been, he makes weird choices! But as a young man, he’s one of those dudes whose personality is “tall,” and as an older man, his personality is “knows the backstory.” There was some fun creepy stuff going on, but the MC is boring, and by the end I was just kind of sad for everyone else and annoyed he’s the only one who got a voice. I also wish we had gotten even more mixed media stuff! With the references to the fandom, we could have gotten reddit posts and stuff rather than have the MC tell us “apparently there are forums”
