I'd like to thank the author and the publisher for the chance to review this ARC. As usual, Tremblay doesn't disappoint. 

This book jumps timelines. Thirty years ago, a group of young filmmakers attempted to create an arthouse horror flick, but tragically it was never finished. Our narrator played the mysterious character of The Thin Kid, and we never do get his actual name. He's the sole survivor of the doomed film, which has become a legend in the online cult horror community. In the present day, there is a reboot, and we go back and forth attempting to figure out what actually happened. What was real? Supernatural? Madness?

I never knew what was coming. I'm still not sure how I feel about it all. But, wow. Great book. I love everything I've read by Tremblay.
