I am not horror’s biggest fan (hence my predicted rating being pretty low). I always wanted to escape my own horrors of real life, so why take time to read fictional horrors that will indeed keep me up till 3am, make me have nightmares, and wake up to having those fears manifest in my day to day life? I have enough fear. I don’t need anymore right? Well, sometime around last year, I decided to take a crack at it again. Something I haven’t done since I was 14 years old and decided to read and complete The Shining (Which in retrospect, maybe I shouldn’t have convinced my parents to let me read it, oh well). With that being said, I think this series is a game changer and I recommend it.  Maybe not in that it will change the whole way horror is looked upon sense (who am, I to say though. I would love to be wrong) , but more in this is the match that could ignite and uplift the horror community. Without too many spoilers, this book gives you hope in unexpected ways, challenges you and wraps it up in a very nice coming of age aspect with seven friends who succumb to dark forces, murder, and the absolute worst nightmares.
