As soon as once more (or twice, actually, as a result of this guide is 2 novels in a single), Stephen Graham Jones delivers on some actually gripping, enjoyable horror that spins some traditional tropes into one thing surprising. This double function accommodates The Babysitter Lives and Killer on the Highway, the primary being a narrative a few night time of babysitting gone horribly, supernaturally incorrect on the eve of Halloween, and the latter a highway journey from hell scenario by which a hitchhiker-targeting serial killer units his sights on a runaway teen and her associates. The Babysitter Lives was beforehand out there as an audiobook unique, so followers might already be acquainted with that one.
Killer on the Highway hooks you instantly with its “Chapter 0” chilly open, which just about provides you a way of how issues are going to be from then on out (brutal). It is fantastic within the gory, disturbing, horrifying-but-also-humorous method SGJ does so effectively. The Babysitter Lives is a brutal and chaotic time, too, and it managed to genuinely give me the creeps once I stayed up method too late studying it. With out giving an excessive amount of away, one thing ain’t proper about the home this babysitter reveals as much as work at. These have been so enjoyable to learn.
