About this listen
From the New York Times bestselling horror writer comes a classic slasher story with a twist—perfect for fans of Riley Sager and Grady Hendrix.
1989, Lamesa, Texas. A small west Texas town driven by oil and cotton—and a place where everyone knows everyone else's business. So it goes for Tolly Driver, a good kid with more potential than application, seventeen, and about to be cursed to kill for revenge. Here Stephen Graham Jones explores the Texas he grew up in, the unfairness of being on the outside, through the slasher horror he lives but from the perspective of the killer, Tolly, writing his own autobiography. Find yourself rooting for a killer in this summer teen movie of a novel gone full blood-curdling tragic.

A fresh breath of slashery air
I love the slasher genre. There's a misconception that the whole 'slasher' thing is done. That all slasher novels and movies are the same. Stephen Graham Jones has proven this to be completely untrue. Yes, slashers are formulaic in nature, but that doesn't mean they're 'done'. SGJ takes a tried and true formula and turns it on its head. A slasher novels from the perspective of a slasher, one where you actually root for the slasher, is mind-blowing. This is a book with depth, with humour, and with heart-breaking realness. It honours the slasher genre while breathing a breath of fresh air into it.
A quick note on the narrator - I thought he was fantastic. He did the role of Tally Driver justice, and brought another layer to the book.
