Thank you to NetGalley for providing a review copy. 

I remember watching Session 9 in the early 2000s. I couldn't remember the exact story, but I remembered the fantastically creepy atmosphere of the abandoned asylum. The book, while written well, doesn't quite manage to capture what made the movie so good. I don't think this is a failing of the writer at all. The story itself without the visuals is kind of lackluster. All in all, a good effort and I enjoyed it enough to give it 3.25 stars
