There are some REAL creepy descriptions of teens in this book and I was really shocked this was considered 'YA' back in the day.
Luckily that thankfully is set aside after the first act and we get a really weird series of vignettes where Jason as a Carny kills everyone.
There are scenes that really don't make a lot of sense but they take advantage of the atmosphere so you just shrug your shoulders and say it 'f it sure why not'.
Commits to the setting and delivers what one would expect.
