Review: The Writing Retreat

The Writing Retreat The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The Writing Retreat by Julia Bartz was a spectacular thriller.  If you favorite author of all time invited you to spend a month at a very exclusive writing retreat at their remote home with the chance to have your book published at the end, you would go wouldn't you?  Who would turn that down?  Some people might even kill for that chance.  Sure said author is an eccentric character who writes gothic horror and lives a life that reflects that.  The house itself has a ghastly history and may house a demon.  This isn't Stephen King and his corgis although it did give me The Shining vibes.

The main story is interspersed with excerpts from the book being written during the retreat so it is like getting two books in one.  Each story is crazy good in its own way.  Another book not for the squeamish!
