I really enjoyed this mini collection, it’s a bit like the movie Inception with stories within stories, but much easier to follow,
All of the stories explore different aspects of the book industry, from critics and obsessed fans, to a nightmare of a film adaption, but mostly just a fan who wanted more writing from his favourite author before he died.
As a fan of a lot of writers, I can relate to these stories, I felt the frustration that the character felt when talking about ‘the direction’ the film adaption was going to go.

If you love reading, I highly recommend this book.
I am a huge fan of the Unnerving's Rewind or Die series, is reminiscent of the 80s and 90s classic cheesy slasher movies.

*Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for a honest review.*

Loved this story within a story book. The short stories that we got to read in this were clever, creepy and dark and I loved them all!
