Scream Queen by Edo Van Belkom

Published: 2003

300 pages

Description :

Two brothers who make low budget horror movies decide to make a reality tv show.  The tv show consists of six contestants that have to stay in a haunted house overnight for a chance to be the "scream queen" and win the lead in their next movie.  When they hire a parapsychologist who warns them to stay away from this house and things start to go horribly wrong, are the stunts happening their own or of the ghosts inhabiting this house?

My thoughts:

I had to read this in my high school English class. I loved it then but u haven't read it since 2005 or 2006.  Since its been a few years, I picked it up today and read the whole thing all over again.

My thoughts... Well considering I thought I forgot most of the story, I was wrong! Maybe forgot a few minor details.  This to me is a good thing because it means this book is so good, you'll remember it!

One of the reasons I like this book is because you see both sides of the story. In one chapter you will read about the main character and the contestants. In the next chapter, you'll see the production side of things from the brothers making the reality show.

The book is pretty much written in two parts. Getting the contestants ready/production and the second part is where all the real action begins (when the filming starts/they enter the house).

Would I recommend this book?  

Yes!! I think teenages/ young adults would love this as well as anyone into horror type books.

Rate it: 4/5
