We dive into our fan casting choices for Nick Cutter's skin-crawling horror novel, imagining which actors would bring these disturbing characters to life on screen. The book's phenomenal writing made our skin crawl in the best possible way, earning a strong 4.5/5 rating despite—or perhaps because of—how deeply uncomfortable it made us feel.

• Fan casting pairs book characters with actors who could play them in a hypothetical film adaptation
• David Harbour (Stranger Things) and Paul Bettany suggested for Scoutmaster Tim
• Evan Peters unanimously chosen as the perfect actor to play creepy Shelly
• Actors from "Scout's Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse" inspired many of our casting choices
• Brief side discussion about Shia LaBeouf and the film "Peanut Butter Falcon"
• Nick Cutter's descriptive writing made the horror feel visceral and real
• Initial confusion about "the worm thing" gave way to complete immersion
• The book gets under your skin and stays with you after reading
