His main defining factor is that he can and will basically have sex with anything that moves except his new girlfriend because she won't let him or something. The "main" character (Jim) is an insufferable dickbag that you want to die the whole entire time. There are so many awful things about this book that I don't know what to list first. and that's about all I liked in this book I also really liked that the horrible lead character (if you can call anyone a lead character in this overstuffed book) gets his just desserts in the end. I have to say that the way the TV static and the spirit within the TV static were presented were often legit scary. I think 1 star is a little rough to give this book, I wish I could give it a 1&1/2 star because there are a (very) few things I liked about this book. And the Halloween setting makes it perfect for the season.
Saying that, this was a fun, trashy and entertaining read. It felt like some more interesting elements were underused in favour of others that ended up being overused.
There is also some violence and gore but it felt secondary to the sex which is a bit of a shame. As the story goes on everyone gets super horny and there's all manner of lurid goings on including wife-swapping, incest, and some rather questionable underage sex. In fact, multiple characters are introduced purely for them having sex scenes. I guess this is a good time to talk about the sexual content in this book. Jim and Greg vow to track it down and play it as part of their show.Īlongside this we learn that something strange is going on in this town and people are seeing things in the static on their television sets. The legend of Druzeppa is murky but still prevalent and there are rumours that there is a recording of his last show. But he's our protagonist so let's go with it.īasically Jim and Greg are working for the local TV station and convince the boss to let them host a horror show on Halloween. He treats his best friend, Greg, like shit and is constantly pressuring his seventeen-year-old virgin girlfriend, Laurie, into having sex. The story picks up in the present day in the run up to Halloween and we are following twenty-something Jim who has reluctantly returned home after a failed attempt at making it big in Hollywood. On Halloween night twenty-five years ago, TV horror host Druzeppa made his final appearance on screen the same night that a local family was brutally murdered in their home. Are you looking for a Halloween read? Do you like plenty of sex and violence? Then look no further.
