This book was a perfect spooky season read. It follows journalist Laura Warren—formerly known as Polly Tremaine— as she travels to L.A. to write about the new television show called It Feeds. The show is remaking the cult favorite film The Guesthouse. Laura is reluctant to make the trip.
Hollywood is somewhere she never wanted to visit again.
When she was a kid, she starred in the movie The Guesthouse. Everyone believed the original movie to be cursed due to most of the actors dying in similar ways to their onscreen deaths.

Once Laura arrives in LA, it seems as if the curse was waiting for her to return. Actors on the set of the new show start dying.

Burn The Negative was a quick and haunting read. It tackles some hard topics such as childhood trauma and unhealthy parenting. It also features how awful Hollywood can be to child actors. Parts of this book reminded me of the haunting memoir Jennette McCurdy released last year.

The plot held me captive the entire time and I love the writing style. This has definitely become a stand out in one of my favorite horror sub genres.
