An NDN book with a slightly unhinged and unreliable protagonist who is convinced she’s in the plot of a slasher film?? I didn't know I needed this, but sign me up!

I’m actually not a big horror movie fan, but I’m familiar with most of the basics mentioned here so I had fun with the (many, many) references to horror movies. And the “Slasher 101” papers were fun too - especially for someone like me that only has a passing knowledge of horror movies. But under the over-the-top slasher-ness of it all, there's some real intense stuff - like why Jade is so obsessed with horror movies.

Most of the book (after the intense opening) is slow moving, but I loved it - you're in Jade's head trying to figure out if she's delusional or if there really is a killer coming to get everyone. But even if you're on board with that, it's not for everyone - it's pretty gory and bloody in places!
