Kyle Lybeck's Literary Lair
It's convention season and everyone is getting excited! Oh to see washed up stars from yesteryear pilfering out photos and signatures for $20, $40, and $50 bucks a pop! One starts to imagine why their fame holds on for so long, for the masses of the horror convention going circuit.


That's where Clarissa Lee comes in. A washed up horror movie phenom from back in the day. She's known around the globe, she's still hot as hell, but she's flat broke. That's when she gets the call of a lifetime, an invitation to join other former actors and actresses from the horror community to join a convention unlike any other. It will be extremely exclusive to those willing to buy passes, on a former summer camp in the woods of Kentucky, and promises tens of thousands to the former stars who all join on.


Once they arrive though, they realize this isn't going to be like any convention they have attended before. Those running the con have instructed those attending to wear masks, and not talk to the stars. They must create a true horror movie experience, not only for themselves but for the stars too. Events are taped as well, so that each person attending will bring home their very own horror movie starring themselves! That's when the fun stops though, as the event quickly turns from con to real-life horror. A star is murdered right before their eyes, and everyone else is on the run for their lives. Who will be next? Who will come out on top to claim their money in the end?


In the latest from Adam Cesare, we get a fun and bloody take on the convention going experience. One that could easily happen today, with convention goers always wanting that "next level" experience. It's a fun novel, a crazy novel, and one that I think fans of horror and of Adam's writing will very much enjoy. I'm giving this one a B+ overall.
