A darkly hilarious contemporary realistic young adult novel about growing up and finding your place in the world, perfect for fans of Me and Earl and the Dying Girl and Running With Scissors.

Dario Heyward knows one thing: He’s never going back to Moldavia Studios, the iconic castle that served as the set, studio, and home to the cast and crew of dozens of cult classic B-horror movies. It’s been three years since Dario’s even seen the place, after getting legally emancipated from his father, the infamous director of Moldavia’s creature features.

But then Dario’s brother invites him home to a mysterious ceremony involving his father and a tribute to his first film—The Curse of the Mummy’s Tongue. Dario swears his homecoming will be a one-time visit. A way for him to get closure on his past—and reunite with Hayley, his first love and costar of Zombie Children of the Harvest Sun, a production fraught with real-life tragedy—and say good-bye for good. But the unthinkable happens—Dario gets sucked back into the twisted world of Moldavia and the horrors, both real and imagined, he’s left there.

With only months to rescue the sinking studio and everyone who has built their lives there, Dario must confront the demons of his past—and the uncertainties of his future. But can he escape the place that’s haunted him his whole life?

Jennzah’s review :

This book really was a fun read for me. It’s funny (in a dark, sarcastic way), and it hits on all the things i love about bad horror films. I found Dario to be a fantastic main character. He’s been emancipated from his crazy old father, a horror film director, and the rest of the people who drove him nuts at Moldavia Studios. He’s been living in a group home, and has actually found some peace. But then he’s called back, and all of a sudden, he’s now in charge of the B-film horror studio with six months to make it work.

What I really enjoyed about the book is that although it’s a black comedy, it touches on issues like abuse, abandonment, guilt, and sibling rivalry. It also shows how one can rise above their own demons and become stronger despite really difficult and crazy situations. Dario becomes stronger for having to conquer his hatred of Moldavia Studios.

I loved watching the story unfold inside a horrific gothic castle, riddled with names of popular horror directors as places, (such as the ARGENTO Wing). If you’re looking for a snarky and fun, but also twisted plus heartful read, you’ve got this book.

Four nuts.
