Description
Reed would die to work for Victoria McCoy--and she may get the chance to do just that Reed Monroe chose Salem University for one reason: the opportunity to study with Victoria McCoy, writer-in-residence and bestselling author of horror fiction. When she learns that a lingering illness is preventing McCoy from teaching any classes, Reed starts a fan club for other McCoy obsessives. Although it only attracts a few members, the club is her passion until she hears about the opportunity of a show more lifetime: Victoria McCoy is hiring a new assistant. It's a job that any horror fan would kill for. After she's hired, Reed learns that the position was open because the last assistant disappeared, and that every one of McCoy's employees has vanished mysteriously. To survive freshman year, Reed must confront the possibility that her idol might be a murderer. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Diane Hoh including rare photos and never-before-seen documents from the author's personal collection. show lessTags

This book was one of the better ones. I actually had to do a bit of guessing with this, and the twist was a pleasant surprise.
This was an OK read, but I'd save for a low concentration day.
*******************************************************************
Though not particularly thrilling, Book of Horrors is an easy, enjoyable read for those days when we don't want to concentrate too hard. The paperback is small and light, making it ideal for handbags or overloaded school satchels. My daughter found this book a little more suspenseful than I did, so it could make a good introduction to the thriller genre.

Fun retro horror with a fan club and old creepy house - and raven :)
