Pulp fiction at its finest.
Could have done without the rape and racism but it’s a quick easy read. A lot of gore, which I liked. I particularly liked the bit where Trev thinks a boy is holding a ball on a string, but it turns out to be some poor girls head.
I guess I would describe it as a video-nasty in a book.
A cheesy slasher in a book.
Not for thinking too much about, yknow?
