![]() ![]() Sager is already asking readers to suspend disbelief, and he makes that more difficult because it’s such a jolt when a character pulls out an iPhone or mentions eBay. As was the case with past novels, though, Sager sets his story in the present while he seems to be writing about the past. The ghosts and poltergeist activity Sager conjures are truly chilling, and he does a masterful job of keeping readers guessing until the very end. Sager delivers something like a cross between The Haunting of Hill House and The Amityville Horror with a tough female protagonist. ![]() Final Girls (2017) remains his most fresh and inventive novel, but his latest is significantly more satisfying than the two novels that followed. As he has in his previous three novels, the author makes contemporary fiction out of time-honored tropes. Horror aficionados will feel quite cozy as they settle into this narrative, and Sager’s fans will recognize a familiar formula. ![]()
