Description
In a Florida tourist trap, a summer acting job turns into a real-life horror show when a cast member turns up dead—then disappears. This nail-biting story is perfect for fans of Fear Street and the Scream franchise.
Dave is spending his final summer before college working at Frightmares House of Horrors, a struggling haunted house attraction held together by malfunctioning killer clown mannequins, a cheap replica Annabelle doll, and a lot of improvising.
After a particularly disastrous shift ends in an employee walkout, Dave reluctantly takes over a role for his friend, however, he makes a horrifying discovery—a real dead body, hidden on set. But when Dave returns with help, the body is gone.
Though the killer covered their tracks, Dave realizes they must know what he saw. Could he be their next target?

This is exactly how going for a run makes me feel. Always hoping that it‘ll get better soon and thatI will get into a Runner’s high, but realizing in the end that it just sucks and didn’t give me anything. And asking myself if I am ‚too old for this shit‘ (I am 21 y/o lmao).
Okay. There were things that kept me going: The writing was tolerable and - to a certain point - even funny. However, after a while, exactly this writing annoyed the shit out of me. Shoutout to DAVE: we know that you feel like you suck, that you consider yourself a dumbass et cetera. You really don’t need to repeat it on every other page bro. Another thing was the plot. I was always waiting for something to happen, but it just didn’t. The ending was okay but also not special tbh. The book was not even scary, which I would have expected, considering the setting. And this relationship (?) of Dave and Maya. They behaved like the cringe couple from your friends group that everyone just wishes would separate ASAP. Dave constantly worrying about Maya after he’s barely gotten to known her for literally a week is just cringe. I didn’t hate the book, but I wasn’t looking forward to reading it and I wasn’t even excited for the ending (even though I am on vacation doing nothing but reading). 2,5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ for me :(
kurzweilige Unterhaltung mit Gänsehautfaktor
Dave arbeitet als Schauspieler in einem Horrorhaus. Es ist weird, macht nur bedingt Spaß, aber wenigstens verdient er so in den Sommerferien etwas Geld und er versteht sich mit seiner Co-Spielerin Josie gut. Bis eines Abends alles irgendwie schief geht und er die Leiche einer seiner Kolleginnen findet... Ich war mir zwar von Anfang an Recht sicher wer es war, wurde aber durch die vielen Wendungen immer wieder verunsichert. Besonders gefallen hat mir dabei vorallem wie gut Dave's Innenleben beschrieben wurde, wie er mit sich selbst hadert und Angst habt, glaubt, dass er wahnsinnig wird.. Es ist nicht die neueste Idee auf dem Markt, aber es hat mich gut unterhalten und mir damit genau das gegeben was ich gesucht hab: Etwas Gänsehaut und leichtes Unwohlsein.
