A review by taylorhathcock
Horrorscope by Nicholas Adams

3.0

Okay so I legit only read this because it was according to the end credits the inspiration for the movie Tarot. I have a compulsion I think to read the books movies are based on haha. Let me just say this is very 90s young adult horror. I don't hate this book but also I don't think it is anything life changing. It was mostly just a quick read that didn't require much thought. It isn't really horror so much as slasher which is fine. It plays up the slasher angle pretty well, even giving us the perspective of the slasher. I think it ends up being pretty predictable overall. The high school angle is also very high school to the point of slightly irritating, but also like okay you get a pass all your friends are being murdered. Really I would just say this is one of those books to pick up if you need a quick read or to recommend to the teenage horror buff in your life.
