“I received a free copy of this book through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.
Zachary Gold is struggling to write his second novel after his insanely successful first. Suddenly, a complete stranger shows up and claims that Zachary plagiarized his writing. He flees into a nearby library and attempts to write his next novel there, when a beautiful young woman shows up willing to help him. But her help will not be for free.
There were two reasons I wanted to read this story. The first is that I’m a “Goosebumps” kid, so I pretty much want to read everything R.L. Stine writes. The other reason is that the blurb very much reminded me of “Secret Window” by Stephen King. Also about a writer who is suddenly accused of stealing someone else’s story. So I was very curious to see how similar the two actually are.
This short story has everything you would expect from R.L. Stine. Good writing, easy to read, fun, thrilling, odd at times, and a bit twisted. And I’m pleased to say that even though at it’s very core it has some similarities with King’s Secret Window, this is a very different little story with an ending that will probably surprise (and maybe confuse) you.”
