Title: Decent reading, especially for a movie tie-in project
Product review: Sure, it is a movie tie-in, and I suspect its release was timed to build the hyper for the Blair Witch sequel, but The Secret Confession of Rustin Parr is actually a satisfying, quick mystery/horror novel. I admire the author for keeping it short and sweet, for not overextending the material.It's a pretty basic plot: Rustin Parr admitted to the murder of seven children in Burkittsville, Maryland in 1941. He was a hermit, anyway. Sentenced to be hanged, he confessed a shocking truth to a priest named Dominick Cazale on the night before his execution. Cazale doesn't reveal the truth until he is own his own deathbed, 60 years later, as a result of a tragic house fire.As with the Blair Witch movies, the twists and the ending of this novel tie-in are ambiguous and open to interpretation. Recommended to any horror fan.
