"Very excited to read this slasher" --Stephen Graham Jones, via Twitter Willow's worst nightmare was being canceled. But the shadows in the woods of Camp Castaway might destroy more than her reputation. After sitcom star Willow tweets herself into infamy and stumbles blind-drunk into a swimming pool, her agent ships her off to Camp Castaway. Nestled deep in upstate New York, Castaway is a summer camp for adults who are desperate to leave their mistakes behind. No real names, no phones . . . no way to call for help. Willow's fellow campers seem okay. Her own favorite actress is even here, making a s'more. And did that jaded writer, Dani, just wink at her? But the peaceful vibe is shattered when one of the campers vanishes and Willow finds a mutilated doll in her room with a threatening message rolled up inside its mouth. Terror grips the group, campers begin to lose their heads--literally--and disturbing past deeds come to light. Is Willow about to get cancelled all over again, this time for good?
I'll give this to Josh Winning, he titled this book Heads Will Roll and he meant it! Give me a summer camp slasher with Scream elements and I'm a happy girl. Also the SGJ & Paul Tremblay references? Loved it. I thought the social commentary was a bit clunky and ham fisted but I do appreciate the effort, I'll never be mad at somebody for making a good faith effort (in my opinion).
