This story is also delightfully meta! There are a series of blog posts by a horror fanatic included throughout the novel. Reading the blog's dissection of the events of this story with comparisons to tropes and classic cinema made for a very fun read.
If you like thrillers that have fresh takes on classic themes, you will definitely enjoy A Head Full of Ghosts.
