Kill river cameron roubique6/4/2023 ![]() Even though I personally never went to summer camp, I'm so familiar with it through teen books and films that it feels familiar. The camp scenes are fun and reminiscent of all those movies and books that made summer camp in the 80s seem like an absolute requirement for kids. The final girl needs to become friends with her prankster fellow campers in order for her to have a valid reason to abandon camp and follow a bunch of kids she just met out onto a dark lake at night. While the story does take a little time to pick up, I can appreciate the amount of setup. ![]() Kill River delivers everything you expect from 80s slasher horror. ![]() ![]() When I saw the cover for Kill River, and then learned it was written rather recently, I immediately expected an homage to those comfortably formulaic and over the top books of my childhood. There were definitely rules and a formula for the genre, and out of all those films and rack after rack of gaudy paperbacks, an entire generation of horror tropes was born. OK, so I'm older than dirt, which means I grew up in the 80s, which also means that I was raised on a healthy diet of slasher movies and horror novels. ![]() This book was sent to me by the author in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
