Another infusion, another book finished! This is by no means a good book, but it was a fun - a campy, 1970s, supernatural And Then There Were None. I enjoy a bad/campy horror movie and that‘s what this was in book form (makes since because it‘s a novelization of a movie that did pretty poorly at the box office; the book was apparently more popular). Definitely a bit predictable but not totally so. I just enjoyed it for what it was.

Soscha The name is familiar. Was Coyne a big paperback horror writer in the 70s? I could just as well google the name though. 4w
shortsarahrose @Soscha yes, he totally was! 4w
Soscha This intrigues me now! He wrote a book in 1981, Hobgoblin, alongside Rona Jaffe‘s Mazes and Monsters. I read that one long ago, maybe contemporary but I would have been 10ys old. The D&D obsession for youth and for parents their children will lose their minds playing roleplaying fantasy games. 🤣 4w

“Then, ever so slowly, her body rose to the surface, tumbling gracefully, picking up speed as it neared the top and finally popped onto the surface like a cork, floating there face down in the center of the still water, her eyes staring intensely at the Ravenshurst crest imprinted on the bottom of the pool.
The cat at the end of the diving board watched the motionless body a little longer, then grew bored, yawned, and trotted off silently. . .”

One of the books my friend sent me, should be a fun quick read. Sounds like a murder mystery from the back description but the prologue gives a bit of a different impression. I'll let you know!

mahasoor I don't think I've ever rooted for a character's death so hard before. 8y
