This reminded me a lot of Chuck Palahniuk... but not quite. With Chuck, he is an absurdist satirical writer with a lot of horror elements in his writing. With Grady, he is a horror writer, who leans towards the absurdist satirical...
The book was good, but (IMHO) a little too long and too slowly paced. It's not the first time I have found myself thinking that this book would make a better screenplay than a novel. It was interesting and enjoyable, but a lot of the characters were cookie cutter copies of each other and didn't really draw me into their stories.
The narrator did a decent job but didn't bring much emotion into the reading. If you like the movie Scream, or maybe even I Know What You Did Last Summer, you will probably like this book.
