I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones
2.5

I was so excited for another book from this author. I have really enjoyed other books from this author and was predicting at least a 4 star experience. I was so disappointed though. It was hard for me to put my finger on why I wasn't getting into it, but eventually I realised it was because I just didn't care. I am a character driven reader, but in slashers, if the slash is good I can forgive lousy characters. Unfortunately, even the slash just isn't that good. What I did like though was that it was from the killers perspective and that there were a couple of interesting moments... like when the colour blindness "thing" is discovered. Overall, it was a 2.5 star read for me.
