Ash is stranded at a rural horror film festival about a giant killer cicada and can't decide what's worse, the movie or her idiot boyfriend, until she realizes she's starring in the bloody sequel when people start dying and the locals won't let them leave.

What do you get when you combine road trips, creepy small towns, and all of the 90’s vibes?? CICADA by Tanya Pell!

The latest installment in the Killer VHS series brings us CICADA, a fantastic, non-stop, creature feature that I didn’t know I desperately needed in my life!

This was the perfect combo of nostalgic horror with its camp and unfounded creatures, while placing us firmly in the modern day with a cult-like small town.

This story is one I can easily see myself re-reading and picking up on new things each time!

Huge thanks to Shortwave for the ARC in exchange for an honest review - I can’t wait to add the physical copy to my collection when it comes out!
