Totally 80s Slasher Vibe
Lisa is obsessed with the murders that happened in the old funeral home across the street. It is said that the killer is still on the loose and Lisa is writing an investigative piece on the murders in hopes of landing a full ride college scholarship. When a new family moves in Lisa quickly attaches herself to Trisha, the teen
daughter, in hopes of getting inside the funeral home and maybe closer to the truth.
Throughout this engaging, but brief story EV Hunt tips her hat to classic 1980s horror. The story has flashes of Carrie, Halloween, Sleepaway Camp, and other bloody great movies. The story is a tight and moves quickly to a bloody climax. The classic “sting in the tail” element from slasher movies is here, and was a pleasant surprise. I highly suggest this to anyone who wants a quick read that is chock full of bloody slasher goodness.

F*cking loved this!! I'll admit the plot twists were predictable but not in an annoyingly way.

One of the best in the RoD series. A throwback to 80s slashers with obvious twists, but fun ones.
