joelle wellington the author that you are... i know anything you write is an immediate purchase. this was such a classic slasher and subverted all of the usual subversions in a modern take on slashers; all while feeling deeply on the pulse of the cultural sphere. you wrote a protagonist so dislikable that i was convinced she was secretly a demon. such a fun ass book. i know some readers may feel like the political, social, and economic narrative may be on the nose or thrown in as an after thought but it's just so true to horror as a genre. horror has always been the leading foot in the social conversation. the best way to measure any era is to know what they considered counter culture and frightening; and this was no different. a true horror story through and through. if they wanna make a movie out of this, PLEEEEEEEASE make that happen.
