Critics Review

A sharp and disturbing homage to the slasher tradition, reimagined with contemporary teeth. SLASHER SUMMER will stay with you long after the blood dries… * Daphne Fama, author of House of Monstrous Women *
SLASHER SUMMER is a masterful tribute to the genre—weaving together hilarity and vicious murders before twisting the lovable formula on its head. Chen’s respect and love for the familiar tropes go much deeper than blood and gore. You could not ask for a better time. This is truly a slasher story after my own heart. * Vincent Tirado *
E.L. Chen had me in my nostalgia feels with her latest, Slasher Summer. The characters lift off the page, each one somehow worth rooting for and against, as they navigate the picturesque setting for a classically gory slasher. The paranoia is high, the gore is abundant, and the twists are neck-breaking. It’s everything a Scream fan could dream of, and also makes me think of the mystery gang in Scooby Doo, but with much higher stakes, deeper connections, and instead of a talking dog, you have….well, Freddy. * Mallory Arnold, bestselling author of HOW TO SURVIVE A HORROR STORY *
