another great examination of the slasher genre and it's tropes, with a fun twist. this was really engaging and kept my brain working to keep up with it's references and commentary. it felt a bit monotonous at points, but those moments thankfully didn't last too long. you can definitely tell this was written in the My Heart is a Chainsaw era (or at least, i can) because they share a lot of the same DNA. honestly, it felt like they could even exist in the same universe. which is great for me because i love that series.

SGJ is an auto-buy author for me at this point. he never disappoints.
