I remember enjoying this when I was a teen. Started rereading "Suffer the Children" and I am getting the ick every few minutes.
It seems the writer has this very wierd fetish for focusing on high school genetalia and describing them as often as he can. I get that, in the OG series this is based off, it is IMPLIED he is a PD; but to make that his defining factor with the female victims is more disgusting than frightening. There is also a prime "women written by a man" moment when a young highschool girl is descending into the boiler room, gets a little wet, and she focuses on her nipples and wet tshirt contests for a bit; you know...while she is being stalked by a nightmare murderer who was last scene helping to remove the face of one of her friends.
Also the way he made Freddy talk is more in line with an edgy cringelord who discovered cursing for the first time. Having Freddy say fuck, fucker, and bitch every time he talks makes him sound like someone being an edgier "Scary Terry."
Am I the outlier here? Every other review I have read for the book is glowing from the readers.
