My Heart Is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones
3.0
There was so much chaos - so well written I'm still not exactly sure what how things ended. I began reading Fear the Reaper before this book. Very glad I had this one already on hand as it is needed before the Reaper.
Jade has seemingly always been on the outskirts of Proofrock - living with her dad, rarely seeing her mother. Constant harassment from both her father and his drinking friends, Jade prefers to be either outside of her house or consuming slasher films - her favorite form of escapement.
When Letha moves to town, Jade knows her own personal slasher is about to begin. Letha is the ultimate Final Girl.
With her extra credit submissions for history extra credit, the reader is granted a look into Jade's obsession - all that knowledge, constant references as a way to cope with reality, and the beginning of Jade's obsession.
