Not fantastic but not horrible, all things concerned. This book did require a certain degree of patience from me as I went through it, but honestly, it was okay.

A really good novelisation of the classic 80s vampire comedy. I’m not even a big fan of vampires but have always really enjoyed the movie and now this book, really glad it is still in publication.

Charley Brewster has a vampire living next door to him, people are turning up dead, and no one believes him when he tells them who is next door and what they’ve been doing. Until they have no choice but to believe him!
It’s definitely not as good as the film. The characters fall flat here without the actors to bring them life. However, I enjoyed it for what it was and it definitely made me want to rewatch the movie soon as it has been awhile!
If you are a fan of the movie, this is worth a read to catch the differences!

So I read this book because I love the 2011 remake of this movie and I am definitely not disappointed with this one.
This is very fast paced and the characters are very well written, I especially love how Jerry was written. But the climax fell a little flat for me to be honest. Even so, I had a really good time reading this. Wish this was a longer tho and Charley's relationships with Evil Edd, Amy, heck even Jerry, were more explored.
