Review: My Heart is A Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones

Posted on October 4, 2021 by Jenn

What a brilliantly crafted homage to slasher films! This may be my favorite of Jones’ novels. His books aren’t ones that I recommend to everyone. Sure, on the surface it seems like just another piece of slasher fiction. Beneath, however, … Continue reading →
