Not that's tonally similar at all to Hokum, but the thought did cross my mind with Adam Scott’s troubled author and this book’s cursed sentient dead author’s desk. I do like a cursed object movie! This is my first Fracassi, and I am inclined to check out some more (the retirement home slasher next), as he does well with building a dark atmosphere and integrating gory kills with flowing modern prose. I was expecting to like this more, but I do think it's well worth your time—albeit overlong—if you like the Stephen King influenced cursed author (s/o Alan Wake) narrative. Fracassi even takes a couple of fun jabs at King, like he tends to use the n-word more than necessary.
