This bookish meme tells the blogosphere what we’re waiting patiently (and sometimes not so patiently) for! It’s hosted by Jill over at Breaking the Spine!
In this campy love letter to the slasher films of the 1980s, seven friends reunite for a weekend of fun—only to be hunted down by a cold-blooded killer. But the real horror is not being able to escape who you were in high school…
The sleepy town of Cedar Lake Falls is best known as the shooting location of the campy ’80s horror flick Slasher. In high school, preppy Patrick, jock Jason, cheerleader Tiffany, stoner Freddy, goth Jennifer, and nerdy Michael had played the cast of Slasher during midnight showings, with virginal Carrie as the Final Girl, of course.
Years later, the friends reunite at the remote cabin where Slasher was filmed. They’ve changed since high school—Patrick came out, Mikey bulked up, and, well, Freddy’s still stoned—and they’re looking forward to a weekend to catch up. But when night falls, and the eponymous masked killer is spotted, the reunion takes a deadly turn. The friends discover their tires deflated and the phone line disconnected, and soon they’re being stalked by a mysterious assailant. Is someone trying to make their Slasher experience as authentic as possible?
One thing is for sure. Before the night is over, they each will have to take on the role they thought they’d left behind.

Why I’m Waiting: If y’all know anything about me, you know that I am a huge slasher fan. I watch Halloween, Jason, I Know What you Did Last Summer, Scream, and all the others every single year, earlier and earlier. So imagine my surprise when I saw this and how excited I got. I think I might have yelped lol I need this like I need air lol So I’m currently trying to find the best way to request this because I need it. I don’t even have the words to ask coherently. Just a bunch of OMGs and I NEEEEDDDDDDDs lol I can’t wait to get this in my hands!
What about you? Will you be waiting on this? Do you like Slashers? Let me know in the comments!
Oh nice! I love the retro VHS tape look! Those catch my eye all the time! I am the exact opposite. Not a horror or slasher movie buff at all. I watch one and I have nightmares for months! Every creak of the floor is some serial killer who just won’t die coming after me! Lol. But I love reading thrillers! Lol. I can somehow tolerate these and after reading for a few hours I’ll watch a cartoon or comedy before going to bed to shake up the thoughts in my head! Lol. Definitely going to keep an eye on this one! I hope you positively love it once you get to read it!
Here’s my CWW
Have a GREAT day!
