Night of the Mannequins by Stephen Graham Jones
2.0
Probably one of the lesser books in his catalog or maybe I just didn’t get what it was supposed to give. If this book was more pages and more developed. I definitely think I’d be into it but it just feels rush and severely below OK.

The book was OK, it’s sort of a hit and a miss well at least for me for majority of the book. It was a big mess until it got to part three where it was a hit. Overall the book is fucking weird and I wouldn’t exactly say it was horror until like part three where everything actually starts happening. But either way I liked it.

The book was entertaining, and I like that it was about final girls and kind of playing with the synopsis of what if the real life final girls had a support group but at some point in the book, it was so hard to keep going like there was word vomiting on a page. It picks up towards the end and that’s where I enjoy most of the book but overall it wasn’t a bad in the back.
