Night Shoot by David Sodergren
5.0
2022 Horror Reading Challenge: Gothic
David Sodegren did something really special with Night Shoot. He took a slasher, and turned it into a Gothic Horror. Literally all the attributes of gothic horror, Night Shoot possesses. Throw in all the familiar tropes of slashers and you have a fun house of madness.
Night Shoot revolves around a group of film students, who are allowed to film in the intimidating Crawford Manor, the catch is they only have one day and have to leave before 8 PM. Things happen, and they are unable to finish filming, and decide to break back into the Manor and finish their film overnight. Needless to say things go sideways.
I had a blast with this novel, and the villain was unique absolutely repugnant. What a grotesque individual. I’m really impressed with Sodegren and have enjoyed the other novels by him I’ve read, Night Shoot being the best. If you are looking for a Gothic Horror novel with buckets of blood and gore, a stay at Crawford Manor might be for you.
