Night Shoot by David Sodergren
3.0
Night Shoot is a decent book, with some good characters and enough nastiness to make it a worthwhile read for horror fans.
The book follows a small crew of Scottish filmmakers, shooting a horror film as part of their final grade at university. The house they're filming in has bars on the outside of its windows, many locked doors and a proviso that the students be out by 8pm. Naturally, they wind up being there past 8pm and we find out why all those doors were better kept locked...
This book won't make it into my favourite lists personally, but it's a pretty good horror that is short, sweet and stuffed with creepy images. The feeling of claustrophobia and the mystery of what exactly is going on in Crawford Manor keeps the pages turning, as does seeing how our plucky heroine Elspeth will escape...
If she will, that is.
