Essay collections are usually hit or miss for me, and this collection was definitely a hit! Each piece was tender and honest and made me emotional - I definitely cried a few times while reading. This collection is essential for anyone who likes to think critically about the media they consume and for horror fans.

Reading these have changed the way I think about horror media and the lenses I use to make sense of it all. I loved the diversity of movies written about and have added several to my watchlist. 

There were 2 pieces that I found a little off-putting and they didn’t flow as well as the others, but they were still very thought-provoking pieces.
