Can't Wait Wednesday (133)


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???

    1. I think it has the creature element but may not be much horror. I'm kind of confused.

  14. Well, 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!!

    I 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 :) :) :)
