thelovelylibrarylady 's review for:

I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones
3.0
dark tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

You can always count on SGJ to bring the body horror and gore. Tolly, our protagonist is a character that you hate to love. He commits heinous acts throughout the story, but somehow you find yourself rooting for him. I Was A Teenage Slasher pays homage to notable slasher films. My three-star rating reflects my personal enjoyment more than the quality of the book. The writing was fantastic, I am just too squeamish!
