Reviews October 30, 2025 Amanda N. Gunther

I am all in a sea of wonders…I think strange things, which I dare not confess to my own soul…so instead I’ll confess to you— the folks of readerland— this Halloween spoof-spectacular is unhinged, off-the-hook, and absolutely the must-see, laugh-out-loud 95-minute thriller of the season.
