Description

Jade Daniels, a half-Native American outcast obsessed with slasher films, finds solace and understanding in the genre's tropes as she navigates a life marked by trauma and a town that ostracizes her. When a series of real-life murders begins to mirror the plots of her favorite movies, Jade realizes her encyclopedic knowledge of horror might be the key to uncovering the truth. This gripping novel delves into themes of identity, belonging, and the power of storytelling to confront darkness, both on screen and in reality. Stephen Graham Jones masterfully blends visceral horror with poignant social commentary, creating a unique and unforgettable reading experience.

sometimes a book is written just for you and sometimes you find that book by pure chance for 25¢ in a thrift store 45 minutes away from home.
