Children of Paradise

Horror fiction following Holly who starts to work in an old movie theatre, desperately trying to be accepted by the other workers.  This was a truly weird book but I didn't dislike it.   Th atmosphere was manic, with a fever dream quality too it as the scenes went on faster and crazier, like watching a train wreck.  There was also a sense of filth to it with lots of gory and of bodily fluids moment that felt absolutely disgusting to read. The « visions/hallucinations » experienced by the main character added to that surreal atmosphere. I loved how the straightforward writing rendered the gruesome moments very vividly though I wished the other parts were more developed or at least more shown and not told. 
I like the idea that the movie theatre was somehow the setting/location for everything bad happening, like reproducing fiction in real life, a hellish setting.  All the movie references were a great homage to cinema especially the use of movie titles for each chapters that gave an idea of the content.
