Failed child actress, Amber Pendleton, renown for 70s cult horror film "Don't Tread on Jessica's Grave" & the legends surrounding the filming, reluctantly agrees to the meta-horror 90s remake "I Know What You Did on Jessica's Grave." This book follows Amber's life during those first two films, & then follows a podcast host as he tries to uncover the truth of what happened on the set of the remake. There are aspects of this that I loved, & I ?

vivastory wish it had focused more on Amber's life around the time that she agreed to do the remake. The final third was by far the weakest part of the book, but with the overarching witch aspect, it was necessary. Still a nice entry of meta-horror fiction. 4y
Kimberlone Oooooh your summary is really pulling me in! Sounds a lot like the premise of American Horror Story: Roanoke which I recently watched! 4y
vivastory @Kimberlone I've heard that's one of the best AHS seasons! I really need to get back to that show. I haven't watched it since Coven, which I loved. 4y

Kimberlone @vivastory I had lost interest halfway through freak show but felt like getting back into the show during the spooky season. I thought Roanoke was really fascinating. I started on Cult but couldn‘t get into it. I‘ve heard that Apocalypse is really good though so I might pick up with that season. (edited) 4y
GlassAsDiamonds Ahhh..... is this fiction or non-fiction? (Probably too creepy for me, I‘m a whimp but .... curiosity and all that!!!😂😂😂😂) 4y
vivastory @GlassAsDiamonds It's fiction, although there are a few creepy moments there's not much gore & violence. 4y

The film being discussed is a 90s meta horror remake of a 70s horror film. Gotta love that Chapman was meta with the actress names.

Jessica had become a cinematic ouroboros. A serpent devouring its own tail, coiling round and round for an eternity. The longer I imagined that snake infinitely spinning, the more its scales slowly took on the shape of celluloid frames. The sprocket holes along either side of the film strip formed scales. When this snake shed its skin, the translucent husk would be fed through the projector.

vivastory @readordierachel There's some lovely gems in here 4y
readordierachel That last sentence in particular is fantastic 4y

Opening survey for #readathon

1. Pittsburgh, PA
2. I don‘t have a stack, just what I feel like reading
3. Whiskey sticks (spicy yet sweet pretzels)
4. Recently died my hair rose gold after going years of being platinum blonde/white
5. Excited to read (with a few errands thrown in)

squirrelbrain Rose gold hair sounds fab! 4y
Daisey I had to go look up whiskey sticks, and they sound delicious. 4y
TheLibrarian @squirrelbrain It‘s so fun except it fades rather quickly. My husband is very “traditional” and isn‘t a fan though. 4y
TheLibrarian @Daisey They are! Hmmm, maybe I‘ll host a giveaway soon for whiskey sticks and a book. 4y

Costco is a very long drive for me, so it wouldn‘t make much sense to miss the lovely indie bookstore just a tiny bit further on, would it? Here‘s my haul from Kona Stories today, including a couple of ARCs.
