Style is interesting, and on a technical prose level is is excellent. However, the heavy references can make it difficult to follow at times, even for a horror/slasher lover. Style, despite being interesting and being thematically appropriate, was also difficult to follow at times and often exhausting, even for a 200 page novel. Normally I would blaze through a 200 page novel, but this took me five days to read because I could only get through around 20-40 pages at a time before having to take a break.
Liked the story and the characters, but it was just. Too much at times.
Also,the final college epilogue was really goofy. Did I like it? Eh. Sure. It's camp. I think I was mostly just glad it was over.
Interesting to see the bones it shares with MHIACS.
