Catalina | 16 comments Hendrix is a mastermind for the spooky and creepy! This shall be a fun read!


message 20: by Lisa (new) - rated it 3 stars

Lisa Alva I’m so happy this one won! I mistakenly bought this one several months ago for a different book clubs challenge and it turned out Grady Hendrix wasn’t one of the participating authors. 😖 😂 But it seems to me October is a great month for haunted houses!!


message 21: by Emma (new) - rated it 3 stars

Emma Sadler (allneedles) | 3 comments Excited to read this! I bought it earlier in the month on sale on Kindle, so obviously had to vote for it!

October is going to be a Hendrix month for me as I also have ǰǰö, Grady Hendrix Bestselling 2 Books Collection: The Final Girl Support Group; The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires and My Best Friend's Exorcism to read!

Karen (hmssparky) | 200 comments Just read this not too long ago. I will never get the airplane scene out of my head!

My copy just arrived, trying to finish something I've been working through before I start but it's starting at me from my kitchen table and it's hard to resist!


Pisces51 I have requested the novel on 2 state library lists, chances are better on one than the other so I am crossing my fingers.


debbicat *made of stardust* (cr8zycat) | 64 comments Oh, this is on my TBR! YAY!

LTJ (ltj81) | 1988 comments I read and very much enjoyed this novel and hope everyone here does as well :-D


Andrew “The Weirdling” Glos | 86 comments I’m in chapter 5, with the elderly “aunts� and I’m just eating up every word of it. How did Hendrix write my family so well?!


Marie | 3997 comments I just finished it yesterday as I started it way over a week ago. I loved it! Very spooky stuff. I am throwing some stuff into a spoiler though.

(view spoiler)

Personally I think this is the best book I have read by Hendrix. I have only read three of his books but I really loved this one. :)

That sounds so promising! I'm starting shortly, just finishing up my last book, 10 pages to go haha.

Whoa 5 stars from Marie, happy you liked this one, this will be my 2nd Hendrix read but I really enjoyed his first even though it has mixed opinions ( The Final Girl Support Group).

He also has a short story out, free on KU. It's super short, probably a five minute read.

Ankle Snatcher (Creature Feature collection)

Probably some pumpkin spice triggered connection :P

Chapter 1 - good stuff, enjoyed the set up.


Corey Hoover | 4 comments Finished this about a month ago. I ended up just devouring this one.

I really enjoy Hendrix's writing style, and if you've read other books of his, you'll find little easter eggs in this which call back to references in his other works.

There's great humor here and its super creepy as well. I'll probably end up re-reading this once I've read some of Hendrix's other stuff.


Rachel (rachelunabridged) | 589 comments managed to snag the audiobook from the library so i just started this today! it came in way earlier than expected, which is always a good thing. 🖤

Bits of humor in scary stories is so unexpected but it's always so memorable for me, looking forward to that!

On Chapter 3. Great so far.

I was super happy with this book! This was my third book by him - I read Paperbacks from Hell and We Sold Our Souls. I really loved this book more than anything as I love haunted house books so this was right up my alley. :)

Thank you for that book link. I need to grab them for KU later this month. I have too much to read at the moment. :)

LTJ (ltj81) | 1988 comments @Debbi: BOOM! Enjoy and happy reading :-)


MsYinry | 22 comments I'm glad I enjoyed this book, there were some points I felt were unnecessary but I still quite enjoyed it. I loved the themes it tackled as well. The family problems seen in this book was one I related a bit too much. It was a 4/5 star for me :))

You know that saying that writers are monsters, they eat everything they see haha.


Andrew “The Weirdling” Glos | 86 comments Chapter 22 - where Mark reveals what really happened over that semester at Boston University - might be one of my favorite chapters ever written by Hendrix. I was alternating between horror and hilarity the whole time.
