4.5

Graham Jones plays with thr slasher like Alan Moore played with superheroes. There is a love and deep knowledge of slashers and their cheap trashy thrills.  He explores the u deli g pathos that can lie with them and shows that slashers can have something g to say just like ghost stories. Does reach the emotional and resonate heights of Obly Good Indians nor its horror, this is a fun and scary read. The ending is wild.
