Harry Potter references the short story, any interesting aspect of this story was drowned into boring HP references and the weirdness of a teen girl (I think) casually mentioning having fantasies about a middle-aged man (Benedict Cumberbatch).
A sleepover grows “deadly” as the children imagine crazier and crazier things.
Starts out strong with the dialogue between the two boys at the start, and there is a bit of suspense with the spider being real or not .. but when the girls come into the room the story just gets outta control and hard to follow. I stopped bothering to try and make sense of things and just powered on to finish the story.
The Harry Potter references were just awful for me, as someone who isn't into that. A few would be fine, but just over and over... ugh. One line made me cringe and groan out loud... “Ian shrugged Ianly.” Come on...
I still have no idea what happened, if any of it was real, or their imagination, and I just didn't like it enough to ponder anymore about it.
