Thanks to Netgalley for a chance to read this early for an honest review. 

I don’t like horror, (and will never pick it as a genre of TV show or movie to watch), but I do like Craig DiLouie, so maybe he should be marketed as horror stories for fans that aren’t into the hardcore horror? Either way, How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive was one of my favorite reads last year and I was excited to see he was releasing this new story this year.

The way he’s been formatting his stories is different than the normal narrative structure. In this case, it’s written as a documentary with interviews of the various characters as they work together to tell the story. 

I also appreciate that his characters have an emotional depth to them so they’re more than the circumstances they’re dealing with. They could have slipped into two dimensional stereotypes of band members, easily forgotten, but I was really rooting for them all to make it.
