A midsummer night's scream

R.L. Steins remake on Shakespeare's a midnight summers dream in this funny, horrifying novel.
Follow Claire and her friends, Jake, Annalee, Delia and a few other boys as they remake a sixty year old movie that had a tragic ending causing the production to stop midway and never start again... until now!
The story begins in 1960 your watching Mayham Manor the original, a group of teens get stranded in the forest, decided they need to find a phone, they walk until they come upon a mansion, once inside though things start taking a very dark turn. First the girl Claire is sitting at the massive dining table when she notices the giant swords hanging above, suddenly one drops and takes her hand clean off! Within minutes she is dead, now the teens are freaking out, but they are starving and apparently can't think without food, so the next boy tony finds bread and is going to make toast.. just as he pushes the lever down on the toaster he is electrocuted and dies.. now everyone is scared shitless, they decided they will try to get out through an upstairs window, yeah the front door locked and won't open... suddenly the next teen decides to take the lead and begins rushing up the stairs,only to meet her untimely death, she falls through a hole and breaks her neck, killing her instantly...

Production is put to a stop after since the deaths weren't suppose to really happen, and now 3 kids are dead.
Fast toward 60 years,Clair's dad and Jakes dad are in the movie business in Los Angeles, they decide to remake Mayham Manor with more horror than ever, nothing will go wrong this time right?
I mean it was just all an accident, well with R.L. Stein, nothing is ever what it seems, and adding Shakespeare into the mix you are in for a twisted adventure!

A fun, scary read that will keep you reading all day !
I loved all the twist and turns, and how easy it was to add humor into this horror novel!
