A Midsummer Night's Scream 
There's only one other book I've been required to read that is as surprisingly bad as this one: William Sleator's The Phantom Limb. If you have an hour or two to kill, play Jewel Mania or Candy Crush Saga or some other mindless game -- you'll get more out of it.
Did not finish. This might be the worst book I have ever read. No wonder is had such a low average rating.

I bought this book because I love horror. I didn't read that this book was about and I didn't look at any reviews. That was a mistake. From page one this book just hits you right in the face with how bad it is. At first, it was kind of funny how stupid everything was and then by page 15 the funny had worn away and I was left with mild rage and desperate sadness because I spent money on a book that was so horrible. The characters are morons and the plot is like the worst horror movie from the
This book is pretty bad. The writing is not at the level I remember R.L. Stine's books having and the story is pretty weak. If I look at it as a reflection of the vanity and pride of Hollywood, it's ok. It's over the top but it's interesting if you look at it that way. But really, there's nothing that can save this book from being a whole lot of weird mess. I listened to the audiobook and honestly, the narrator was terrible. Her voice for Puckerman was high pitched and weird. She could have made

Oh, what fools these actors be! it was a horror movie that turned into real horror: Three young actors lost their lives while the cameras rolled. Production stopped, and people proclaimed the movie was cursed. Now, sixty years later, new actors are venturing onto the haunted set. In a desperate attempt to revive their failing studio, Claire's dad has green-lit a remake of Mayhem Manor, and Claire and her friends are dying to be involved. At first, Claire laughs at Jake's talk of ghosts and curses. He's been too busy crushing on her best friend, Delia, or making out with that slut, Annalee, to notice that she's practically been throwing herself at him. What does he know anyway? This is her big chance to be a star! But then, Claire runs into a creepy little man named Benny Puckerman, and gets her hands on a real love potion! Unfortunately, the course of true love never did run smooth... Get ready for laughter to turn into screams as the Grandmaster of Horror, R.L.

I wanted some audio fluff and LOVED Fear Street growing up, but this was not good and lacked the charm I remember of my favorite childhood author. Also the characters were despicable. One example? (I'm paraphrasing) the main character criticizes her Cheesecake Factory waitress by telling the reader she's ugly and "thick around the middle". "Guess someone's trying too many cheesecakes!"Ohhh I get it. Because she's fat! Good one.There's only one other book I've been required to read that is as surprisingly bad as this one: William Sleator's The Phantom Limb.
