I am not someone who believes only white, straight men should die. When Thomas cannot sexualize the women, they are old and evil. The third woman, a person of color, is Wainwright’s intern girlfriend. I almost put the book down completely when Daniel notices his daughter’s budding body. Stine-like author, has a teenage daughter. Moore written exactly how a man with no knowledge of what a feminist is would portray her, the two other female characters in the book are cardboard cutouts. You should have just made the four main characters all men, bud. You don’t know what a feminist is and why you shouldn’t describe her “lithe body” and “barely covered breasts” every other page. This tells me you’re not a woman and have no knowledge of female behavior), or always having her breasts barely concealed by a robe or other way too tightly described clothing.Įven as Thomas attempts to build her backstory and reveal why Moore is a guarded, opinionated woman, it falls so short. Moore is always half dressed, writing naked, sleeping in just a bra (I mean, really. This feminist character that Thomas thinks he has written is comical. Moore is a sarcastic, overbearingly loudly violent woman who writes gory horror that involves women fornicating with demonic beings to repossess her sexuality and womanhood. Scott Thomas writes the one female main character in the novel the way I imagine a white male thinks a feminist behaves. Hate women, fat people, and disabled people? Boy, does Scott Thomas have the book for you! Write with the unearned confidence of a mediocre white man.

Why? I wish I could write as confidently as Scott Thomas without knowing what in the heck I was doing as a writer. Moore - a female horror writer all about gore and sex, Sebastian Cole - the legendary literary horror author, and Sam McGarver - the popular horror fiction writer.įirst of all, I am going to suggest that everyone pass on this novel.

The cast of characters is as follows: Daniel Slaughter - a Christian horror writer for teens, T.C.

The premise is simple: Wainwright, a social media/pop culture internet sensation invites four of the most famous living horror writers to an overnight interview in a haunted house.
