If ever there were a season to pick up a horror story, we’re in the middle of it—and if you’re still in the market for your creepy Halloween 2019 read, consider KILL CREEK by Scott Thomas an excellent option. KILL CREEK is one of those books that’s been on my TBR for quite a while, and I’m so glad I finally made time to read it this fall—it turned out to be exactly what I hoped it would be. KILL CREEK is a horror story built for fans of the genre, a clever and spine-tingling tale of a group of horror writers whose publicity stunt turns into a desperate battle for survival. In KILL CREEK, four prolific horror writers are invited to spend Halloween night at a legendary haunted house, a publicity opportunity orchestrated by a preeminent horror website and its mysterious creator. For each of the writers, this invitation presents a much-needed answer to professional and personal woes. But what should have been an easy commitment quickly turns sinister. The writers are guests in a house that doesn’t really want them there… but it’s also a house that’s willing to use their presence in service of a greater goal. Splitting its time between that fateful night in the house and the weeks and months after, KILL CREEK leads readers down a twisty and twisted road—one filled with hidden motivations and unforeseen consequences. KILL CREEK is a slow-burning story, particularly in its first 100 or so pages, but the patient reader will be rewarded. KILL CREEK is scary, bloody, page-turning stuff, and it’s just the ticket for a chilling Halloween read.
