Publisher's Summary
Book one of the Drive-In series by Joe R. Lansdale.
The end of the 1980s. Drive-in movie culture is mostly dead with one significant exception: The Orbit Drive-In. A drive-in theater so large it houses screens multiple stories high that fill the sky and can hold 4,000 cars and all the people who can squeeze in them. It’s a lit city that fills to the brim on Friday nights; crowds gather for the Dusk-to-Dawn Horror Shows. Horns honk, BBQ grills sizzle, people yell and act the fool, ready for the marathon of one low-budget horror film after another. But then suddenly the world changes in front of their eyes, not on the screens. A comet, red and smiling with jagged teeth, flashes across the sky. People try to leave but find they are trapped by some acidic goo surrounding the entire drive-in. They grow hungry, homicidal, and suicidal. Then along comes the Popcorn King, a jiving, rhyming creature formed by blue-white lightning, with four arms and a popcorn bucket on its head. A monster as strange and dangerous and mesmerizing as the creatures and villains on the screens. It offers the starving masses food, but there’s always a price to pay for survival. And then things start to get wicked....

Well that was weird...
What a strange story.
It had some interesting moments and I did like the main characters, and the friendship and banter between them was good.
The mystery could have done with more explanation, I felt like I have no idea what was going on at the end of the book.
If there is a sequel, I am unsure if I’d give it a go. I probably would, because I love Matt Godfrey’s voice, and also just to see if there is any more explanation as to what the heck is going on!
Not for the faint of heart, there are some unpleasant bits, and if you like your stories tied up in a neat little bow at the end, I’d say this isn’t for you.
