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 ?
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.
About half way through book 2 for the #DeweysReadathon and it‘s a perfect pick for October!

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.
