4.0
A horrible thing happens once a year in this book. Some sort of affliction has infected the population and it turns all the straight people into rage demons who attack and murder all of those who are not. But now that there's a vaccine (that *some*, ahem, may or may not have taken for, *ahem* reasons) a group of friends assume things will be ok when they head out to a deserted area to ride it out but they are woefully unprepared for what awaits them.
This book is some gory fun and also exposes some painful truths about allies and what it means to be one when the going gets hard and not just give some lip service that makes you sound good. Stand by your friends and fellow humans when things are bad and help them when they most need it.
Anyhow, I picked this up because Chuck Tingle is known for writing some of the wildest titles I've ever seen and because his social media presence is such a joy and he is a very unique personality. I was very curious to see what he'd do with a horror novel and he did good stuff. It was one of those books that was a pure joy to read, filled with interesting people and horrible deeds. lots of action and some gooey and gruesome scenes.
