A Head Full of Ghosts

Solid, unnerving possession horror

Not every aspect of this worked for me. The blog entries and the reality show frameworks felt kind of unnecessary.

But the parts that worked. Woo-boy. I'm going to be thinking about this one for awhile.

Good horror is good horror. That's all I want these days and this delivered that and than some. The last third took me to a place I truly didn't expect. I've now read all of Tremblay's novels and inevitably I'll be following his work for years to come.

Re-read: So, so good. Leans into the ambiguity and references to make the scary bits (and, as for me, there are scary bits in this book) all the more effective.
