A review by cjothom
Will Haunt You by Brian Kirk

2.0

Jesse Wheeler - former guitarist of the heavy metal band The Rising Dead - learns of a book that you don't read, it reads you. Jesse doesn't think much of it as it takes a lot to scare him but he will soon find out how wrong he is. Once you read the book, you agree to become a protagonist in your own personalized nightmare. The reader will be subjected to terrors that prey on their own fears and bring up ghosts from the past. Now that you have read the book, you've agreed to play the game as well.

This book was a good read, but not great. I found that it took me quite a bit of time to get through it and that I didn't really care about the characters or their plight. It never kept me interested or was something that I thought about when I wasn't reading it. This story seemed so interesting and I really wanted to like it but I felt like there could have been so much more to it. I wish that there was more information about the cursed book and who was torturing Jesse but there was really nothing. It was such a confusing read that I couldn't really get into the story and invest in the characters or the story. It's a shame too because I really wanted to like it.
