Me too!

Just picked up a copy yesterday, I'm only a few chapters into it, but it's already a lot of fun.

Getting ready to start this!

Ok well had the audiobook and listened to it pretty quick. I loved it. Great storytelling.

I'm only about 30% in but loving it... great nasty characters and spooky foreshadowing.

This was great. I devoured my copy as soon as I got it. Hope y'all love it!

4/5 for me and my goodness, what a ride! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did :-D

Think I'd better wait till I finish to read your review.

@Nick: Please do! I always make mine spoiler-free but do prefer them being read when done or if readers are on the fence of reading it. Happy reading :-)

Still moving through this and I have to say this has to be Hendrix's scariest book. What a villain who is totally out of control. I never expected such horrific details from this author.

The title itself is quite captivating, I'm definitely adding this book to my reading list.

Just posted my five-star review. https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...

I think you really hit the heart of this book with this term: "insanely horrific scenes." That's exactly how I felt.

@Nick: Thanks, my friend! My goodness, those scenes were indeed wild...

Oh man! I got the library's audiobook copy the week it was released and I truly enjoyed the listen. Hope ya'll enjoy it!

I just hit chapter 20. I'm captivated by this story. I just started it yesterday and already halfway through. It is hard to put it down. I think this is by far the best I've read yet.

Of course when the month is done... mine just came in at the library!

On page 311 and really into it, uff.. it sure got serious fast.

I finished it a few weeks ago, I did not enjoy this one as much as I wanted to. I wanted a similar experience as the shining. I won’t say anything that will spoil it, but, I have a feeling there will be a lot of ppl let down like I was.

I thought it was good, I listened to the audiobook a few months back. I thought the characters were really well done and the story was interesting throughout.

I listened to the audiobook when it was first released and for me, it was a big letdown. I loved the author's first three books Horrorstör, My Best Friend's Exorcism and We Sold Our Souls for their satirical undertones while still being creepy as hell, Horrorstör especially.

Hendrix's last three books I enjoyed less and less though, to the point where I didn't even finish How To Sell A Haunted House. I found the two main characters immensely annoying and the "haunting" more silly than creepy. I guess it's aslo a matter of false expectations, since in my opinion, this wasn't actually a haunted house story at all.

I had the same experience Hans: annoying chapters, silly haunting. Glad to hear his other books are better.

I think it's mostly the characters that didn't do it for me in his last three books. In the first three books, the main characters can be infuriating at times, but they all have a relatable side and redeeming qualities. From The Southern Book Club's Guide To Slaying Vampires onwards, I cared less and less about the characters and that's something that will ruin a book for me.
