Summer Camp for Slasher Victims

How it reads

Summer Camp for Slasher Victims is horror (slasher horror, specifically), and its dominant mood is eerie. It's atmospheric and uncanny, with a sense that something is wrong. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in the wilderness or at sea, in the present day, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are survival, friendship and loss and grief. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.

It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 313 pages it's a quick read. It's a hidden gem — known to relatively few readers.
