This was such a beautiful, bleak and disturbing novel and I ate up every minute of it. Everyone is calling it a "love letter to slashers," but that's exactly what it was. Every horror reference or trivia fact had me smiling amd geeking out so much and this is a book I've waited to long for it. Its intense, bloody and mysterious. Is our MC watching a real life slasher film play out in her small town? Or is it all in her head?
