“A very interesting take on slasher culture! It is told as a type of memoir which makes the experience more immersive in my opinion. I really appreciate all the references to pop culture and horror movies highlighting the so-called fundamental rules of a slasher movie including the final girl. It's a fun time, especially with the audiobook. Thanks for the homage, Stephen.”Likable charactersEasy to readDark settingImmersive settingComing of ageDarkFeel goodViolence

“As a horror lover, I really enjoyed the nods to famous slasher films🔪 Loved how campy some parts were. The writing style can be hard to follow with going off topic or being long winded. I also wish it was broken up more- but that’s just a me thing!”About Stephen Graham Jones
