The Girls of October

This is the second book I've read this year of that sort of “found footage” genre (a story told through newspaper articles, stories written by children, interview transcripts, etc) but I enjoyed this one more than Sleeping Giants because I think Josh Hancock really mastered getting the tone and voice to sound different for different types of texts and authors. I can tell how much the author loves classic horror movies and the type of character he wants to tell a story about here is also a type of character that I enjoy a lot so despite some minor issues (people seem to love that treatise on Halloween but honestly that was my least favourite part - felt a little too “author voice” and threw me out of the story a bit; also I think sometimes his “female author voice” fails him - the part where Lisa takes the time to describe her own nipples twice during a near death experience was a bit much lmao) I would recommend this book.
