I have been reading some very heavy books lately, so picking up this fun slasher was sorely needed. It's witty, funny, and gory, never taking itself too seriously. It's giving 90s slasher vibes, to borrow a phrase from one of the characters. I also loved all queer rep and the folklore behind the killer. Even though quite a few of the characters are essentially cannon fodder, they all had really cool back stories, which I appreciate. You don't always get a lot of character development in a slasher, but The Namaste Slasher excels here. 4.25 stars
