Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay
4.0
Holy moly.
As a filmmaker, the several mentions of the cast and crew willing to do anything and everything to make the best film they can rang uncomfortably true - especially at that younger age when you do feel invincible and have that strong need for your art to be seen.
That aside, the several moving parts in this book made for an extremely interesting, slow-building puzzle. Cutting from the screenplay, to the "Then" timeline, to the "Now" timeline, and the building of contradictions and hints at things to come really truly boggled my mind.
This book is definitely dark and Horror Movie itself is a look into the worst parts of ourselves, so proceed with caution!!
