This horror film novelization is based on the horror film Halloween (2018) which is part of a trilogy of horror films Halloween (2018) Halloween Kills & Halloween Ends.
In my opinion, Halloween (2018) is the best film in the trilogy, but I haven't seen Halloween Ends yet, Halloween Kills was meh in general
(in my opinion)
I didn't care about the political & mob mentality aspect of the film, I haven't read the novelization of it yet.
I've been a fan of the Halloween film franchise since I was a teenager, Michael Myers is one of my favourites fictional serial killers, The Shape has come home.
I love the mystique, unanswered questions about MIchael Myers, if they were explained, it would ruin the mystery of Michael Myers, it's better to never conclusively explain why he is the way he is.

Ye gads, this book took a while to get through. I'm not big on real horror, so reading about the subject matter in this book (in brutal detail ) having someone describe in rather accurate terms the dismemberment and gutting of a human body was more than I was expecting for this book - though appropriate for the subject matter was not a fun thing to do and I don't recommend trying to read it while eating either.… (more)

I enjoyed this one a lot more than the first book in the series by John Shirley.
Passarella has a much better grip on all the characters, the book is clearly set at a specific point of the show, and the case, while exceptional brutal even for Grimm standards, was also fitting. And even though he didn't include Juliette and Rosalee in the action, at least he didn't ignore them completely.

If you’ve watched the TV series, Supernatural you’ll recognize the Winchester brothers Sam and Dean even though there isn’t much of them throughout the story and that brought the rating down for me. This is the author of many of the “Buffy” novels also so I thought how much “off” the TV show can it be? The characters were well written and very much like the TV show but as I said they were almost absent in body, I love Supernatural, the TV show and own all the DVD’s but if you are a fan that prefers horror over gore you might want to venture into this one with a spoon-full of caution.… (more)
