Samie Foster’s Reviews > My Best Friend's Exorcism > Status Update

Well that whole tapeworm chapter was horrific. Really did not see that coming. The book has been pretty mild until now. I guess its time to ramp up the scary in the final chapters.

Wait a minute! A member of the traveling handsome dude stage show who raises money in the of a God is an actual exorcist and Abby went to him for help?! Its like this author really liked Peter Vincent from Fright Night, but wanted to put dude bro twist on the whole thing. Compliments to trying to twist a ripped off idea into ur own thing and all, but I find this choice more silly than fun.

So nobody cared about rape in the 1980s did they? In their eyes weed was more dangerous than crazy men attacking women. That's really messed up.

This is really surprising me. Typically horror novel bore me but this keeping my attention.

This is now very slowly turning into Jennifer's Body. Anyone remember that movie? I feel like the whole world has forgotten that movie exists.

This feels like old school YA horror. The sort of old dusty books I would find in my school library before harry potter and the others took over. I never realized how I missed this style. No cliches. No love triangles. No chosen one. No melodrama. Nothing really all that fantastical. Just a bunch of relatable kids that are stumbling across some spooky stuff.

So in the 1980s girls would be excused from classes when they got their period? Well I bet that was exploited to hell while it lasted. It would make skipping school way too easy.

I dunno how I feel bc about this. Feels like the book is setting uo a plot of an 80s teen horror like Fright Night or Night of the Comet. But at the same time I love those old movies, so this might all turn out to be a good thing after all.

Heard good things about this author. Thought I would give him a try.
