Daphne
by Josh Malerman
This was my first Josh Malerman novel.
It’s the last summer for Kit Lamb: The last summer before college. The last summer with her high school basketball team, and with Dana, her best friend. The last summer before her life begins.
The ghostly aspects are spot on. Scary and suspenseful moments keep readers in the moment and actually scare them (I know I was at times). The anxiety representation was one of the best ones I have seen depicted in a novel. The character's outright denial about Daphne is completely believable. And that is what gives me an 80s slasher movie vibe. Daphne feels like a cult-classic slasher. Maybe we will see this on the screens one day?!
