Can't Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted at Wishful Endings to spotlight highly anticipated books. It is based on the Waiting on Wednesday meme which used to be hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
FROM GOODREADS: 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?

WHY I CAN'T WAIT: I love the cover and also love the idea of old creature features. I know it's a long wait but I really want to read this one.
WHAT BOOK CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR THIS WEEK???
I’m somewhat nervous around horror, but this sounds sooooo cool! Creature features? Movie making ? Great puck, Barb!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if it's out-and-out horror if that makes much sense. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteThis sounds interesting and different. :) I like old creature features too!
ReplyDeleteI actually thought of you immediately when I found this one.
DeleteI love the sound of this, I'm definitely adding it to the list. And it sounds different from other horror stories!
ReplyDeleteIt does and I think that's what caught my attention.
DeleteI really do like the sounds of this one. Thanks for sharing it!
ReplyDeleteYou're very welcome.
Deleteoh this one sound so dark and unique with the movie making frame :)
ReplyDeleteI know but it's such a long wait!
DeleteI am not a horror reader, but I it sounds like it could be a second chance romance too (?)
ReplyDeleteI think it has the creature element but may not be much horror. I'm kind of confused.
DeleteI haven't really read any horror, but this one does have an interesting concept. I hope that you love it when you get the chance to read it. :)
ReplyDeleteI like the cover a lot too!
Deletelooks like a good book! We should pick a good book and buddy read!
ReplyDeleteI agree.
Deletethat does sound interesting and you can't go wrong with a good horror!
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteYou always find the most interesting books! I love the old creature features too, so this one sounds right up my alley as well.
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
I think we both may like this one a lot!
DeleteIt's not my type of book but hope you love reading it when you do!
ReplyDeleteHere's my WoW
Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteOld creature features. :) Fun stuff. This does look good, and yes that cover is amazing! I want it just for that I think.
ReplyDeleteI can't really tell if it is meant to be horror or comedy...not sure this is my kind of read but I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteI think it's kind of confusing too. That's part of the reason I want to read it.
DeleteWell, Barb, you know by now how I feel about books like this one.....lol. I did read the entire blurb, though, because, but, like Chuckles, I wasn't sure whether this was "real" horror, or comedy. I got the feeling that maybe it's a satire of the whole horror movie cult craze. Anyway....I do hope you enjoy this book!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you and your family -- including, of course, the boys -- had a WONDERFUL Thanksgiving!! Sorry for the late comment back, and thanks for commenting on my own CWW post!! HUGS TO YOU, CASS, AND BOOK!! WOOF, WOOF TO THEM!! <3 <3 <3 :) :) :)
Me and the boys are always glad you stop by even when you don't like my horror picks.
DeleteI don't usually read horror, but this sounds pretty intriguing with focus on movie making and "old creature features." I hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteIt has some new elements so I'm hoping it's a good read.
DeleteThis one is new to me but I really like the sound of it. I hope you enjoy it once you get the chance to read it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole!
DeleteThis sounds like something that'd be right up my alley. That cover really is great too!
