Welcome to Litsy!

incredible cover art!! Starting it now, i‘ve heard good things 💀💕

•Edit• I loved this book! one of the reviews described it as if Tina Fey wrote the Exorcist and i totally have to agree but mix in The Heathers. i recommend this book, very funny, heartfelt and just the right amount of horror. i can‘t wait to read more from this author

Damn fine book filled with laughter, horror and creep. Now I have a new author to add to my favorites #gradyhendrix #readthisdrinkthat #80snostalgia

“Because you‘re my only best friend,” Gretchen said. #gradyhendrix #readingglassespodcast #nostaliga

80s nostalgia, best friends, high school, and demonic possession. What more could you ask for? I love Hendrix‘s stylized book, made to look like a yearbook, and his dark sense of humor sparkles throughout.

"Corn dogs" the exorcist said, "is all the proof I need, there is a God."

I had listened to some Books on Tape as a kid, but it wasn‘t until I got #BehindtheWheel for an hour-a-day commute that I really appreciated audiobooks. The first book I tried on Audible was the tagged book, and I was hooked!

In less than three years, I‘ve racked up a lot of listening time, and this doesn‘t include library books! #MayMovieMagic

#MarchIntoThe70s #Day29 #SchoolsOut Alice Cooper always fascinated me,his showmanship & persona combined with a girls name gave him a “I‘ll be who I damn well please” aura which I totally was onboard with.This book,set in the 80s not the 70s,also has a touch of that vibe,about two friends in junior year at school.After a night of LSD,one disappears before turning up next day acting strange. By the end of the year Abby is convinced she‘s possessed.

This book has definitely got the #BestBookFriendship she stays by her friends side through literally the most horrible time of her life! 🙌

I‘ve read a number of books in 2019 that I have enjoyed, but this is my favorite for the year so far. I loved it. It had a definite Stranger Things vibe to it (hence my Funkos...). I loved all of the 80s references, the humor, and also the fact that it had aspects of old school horror, but nothing that would cause nightmares. This was a lot of fun!
Thanks again, @SiriuslyWeasley !! 😊

This book was really good. It wasn't as scary as I was hoping from other reviews, but it's very difficult to scare me, at least with media. However the imagery was fantastic and I can absolutely see how people could be terrified by this book. I loved the relationships created as well. Definitely would recommend for occult fans. It was an interesting way to present possession

This book was so awesome! The pictures, the complete 80's throwback, the sweet ending. It was all just perfect, it really came together nicely. This book has made me laugh, got me mad, just really threw my emotions around.

Amazing! From the neon drenched, mall cruising, pop song first half, where we meet these high school friends and follow them around typical ‘80‘s life, fun and endearing -through the brutal climax; this is a masterclass in managing tone. Like a rollercoaster gearing up to the first drop, you‘re enjoying the levity of their friendship and youthful indiscretions, until you realize, very slowly, you‘re at the precipice of horror and not ready for it.

I cannot wait to finally finish this book! So close yet so far, and it just keeps getting better and better! 😁😁😁

I really enjoyed this book and it was a quick read for me. I was expecting it to be a little more horror/scary but it turned out being more fun than anything. #horror

Liked this! Too tired to write more haha

Found myself in Chapters today...

#oops #bookhaul

#MusicalNewYear As you all know I‘m an #80sGirl so my favorite #TimeWarp was this cheeky novel ~ a total tribute to everything 80‘s 🙌🏻❣️🎧

🤣🤣🤣

The perfect balance between fun and creepy with excellent 80‘s nostalgia. That last line... 👍🏻 #aroundtheyearin52books #ATY2016 #nothatsnotatypo

Fun 80s horror on the surface (and I love a bit of 80s horror!) deeper theme of abiding female friendship.
The friendships that get you through the worst times, literally!

⛪⛪⛪⛪ This was a pretty decent story. As a child of the 80s, I enjoyed the nostalgia. It was missing something though and the ending didn't do it for me. It was pretty solid though.

Oh dear! #whoops is all I can say. Since I joined #Audible in October 2016, you can see from the above charts and graphs that I‘ve become a tad #obsessed with #audiobooks! This doesn‘t include all my library books. All I can say is I had a long commute, lots of household chores, and a dog to walk 🐩. 🤣🤣🤣

The tagged book was my first audiobook and it‘s fantastic. 👍🏻👍🏻 #NoFemmeber

I know I‘m late to the Litsy party with this book. I liked it, though I can see how readers would either really like this or really not like this.

@GondorGirl gave me my present early. To bad I'm at work I want to read it now.

Woohoo! And Horrorstor is being made into a series.

The movie is coming! 😱🙌😍

This was another fun read. Great 80s setting and unlike anything I've read before.

I've been hammering away at audios lately and for the most part I've been lucky with great narrators. This book was no exception. I loved the supernatural aspect mixed with tons and tons of 80s references. This is a great easy read and was fun to listen to

This was phenomenal!!! The 80s pop culture references, the gory horror... I love it when a book affects me physically and I was so nauseated a few times, but in the best kind of way, like a roller coaster is just controlled terror!!! So far, Grady Hendrix can do no wrong!!!

My Halloween night horror pile

🎃🧛🏼‍♀️🧟‍♀️👻

Holy Shades of the 80s! Here‘s what I‘m reading today, just because it‘s super fun. Also, I‘ll be at work for most of the festivities and won‘t have much time to read.

1. Handing out candy tonight if anyone shows! 🍬🍭
2. Black cats, bats have rabies 🦇
3. Spooky story, but really neither
4. @MicheleinPhilly
Bonus: My Best Friend‘s Exorcism - the audiobook is amazing!

Edit: My city moved Halloween up because of a lot of rain forecasted for tomorrow ☔️👻🎃

4⭐️Go into this book for it‘s tale of friendship gone wrong. The exorcism is such a small part of the book. Grady Hendrix does such a good job of putting the reader not only in the friendship, but also in time period that it becomes a full immersion. So don‘t go into this book looking for a blood horror, instead look for the horrors of friendship. And BTW, Grady, thanks for getting all those songs stuck in my head.

Now we do the dance of joy!!!

Er... what? This book is full of 80s references!!!

Ummm 5 BILLION 🌟 🚀 🌟 🚀 this is my new favourite read of the year. Absolutely phenomenal. And why did I cry at the end? How did Grady Hendrix sum up the Abby and Gretchen friendship in a way that made my heart actually ache for my bff who loves provinces away? Where did that come from, 15 minute before I read something so disgusting that I had to take a moment. I‘m going to buy a copy of this for all of my friends.

I don‘t know how this dude did it, but Grady Hendrix captures perfectly the intensity of female friendships in their teens. It‘s a love letter to the 80s, to cheap thrillers, to all the horror tropes. But most of all, it‘s a celebration of love between true & long-standing friends. I ❤️ this book 😍

5 pages in and I can‘t decide what I love best - that there‘s an 80s Spotify playlist for my book; that the chapters are named for songs from my youth; or that it looks EXACTLY like a yearbook from 1988/89. Heck, I can‘t even decide which cheesy cover I like better 🤷🏻‍♀️❤️📚😱

Playing a little catch up with this one! The girls in this book definitely would have benefited from a #LuckyCharm or twenty! Or even better, a visit from the Winchester brothers! #OctoberPutASpellOnYou @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @vkois88

Okay ya‘all. You were right. I quite liked it. By could that end have been any mire depressing?

At times this book pisses me off so much, but in a really good way. I‘m at the Major-Mom meeting. And I don‘t know who I‘m more pissed at. 🧐

I enjoyed this book overall but I felt like it was too slow in the beginning and then all of sudden it was over. Like there was no real apex of the story it just kinda... stopped. And then was done. The details of the possession earned a 10/10 on the GROSS scale.

That is not how I remember that song going.

“We are the world...we eat the children”.
