About this listen
A USA TODAY Bestseller
From New York Times bestselling horror writer Stephen Graham Jones comes a classic slasher story with a twist—perfect for fans of Adam Cesare and Grady Hendrix.
1989, Lamesa, Texas. A small west Texas town driven by oil and cotton—and a place where everyone knows everyone else’s business. So it goes for Tolly Driver, a good kid with more potential than application, seventeen, and about to be cursed to kill for revenge. Here Stephen Graham Jones explores the Texas he grew up in, and shared sense of unfairness of being on the outside through the slasher horror Jones loves, but from the perspective of the killer, Tolly, writing his own autobiography. Find yourself rooting for a killer in this summer teen movie of a novel gone full blood-curdling tragic.

Story
In June 1993, a group of young guerilla filmmakers spent four weeks making Horror Movie, a notorious, disturbing, art-house horror flick. The weird part? Only three of the film’s scenes were ever released to the public, but Horror Movie has nevertheless grown a rabid fanbase. Three decades later, Hollywood is pushing for a big budget reboot.

Story
Iðunn is in yet another doctor's office. She knows her constant fatigue is a sign that something's not right, but practitioners dismiss her symptoms and blood tests haven't revealed any cause. When she talks to friends and family about it, the refrain is the same—have you tried eating better? exercising more? establishing a nighttime routine? She tries to follow their advice, buying everything from vitamins to sleeping pills to a step-counting watch. Nothing helps. Until one night Iðunn falls asleep with the watch on, and wakes up to find she’s walked over 40,000 steps in the night.

Story
Every night, in the college’s ancient cemetery, five people cross paths as they work the late shift: a bartender, a rideshare driver, a hotel receptionist, the steward of the derelict church that looms over them, and the editor-in-chief of the college paper, always in search of a story. One dark October evening in the defunct churchyard, they find a hole that wasn’t there before. A fresh, open grave where no grave should be. But who dug it, and for whom?

Story
Alma Katsu calls My Heart Is a Chainsaw “a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre.” On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life.

Brilliant Fresh Approach to the Slasher Genre
I'll admit that part of me expected a tired and predictable slasher story, given how much Stephen Graham Jones has already tapped that particular vein, but this one was a pleasant surprise. The premise is unconventional, and even a bit silly, but the author does a fantastic job of walking that fine line where the stakes are meaningful and the characters are real and relatable, but the story doesn't take itself too too seriously. Any decent slasher has to acknowledge its own inherent over-the-topness and lean into the camp.
Another thing Jones does really well in this one is voice. The story is told from one character's perspective, and he does it with such a unique voice. Narrator Michael Crouch only enhances the story's voiceyness, which makes it an absolute delight to listen to. This is the closest thing to a "page-turner" I've listened to. I usually take at least a week to finish an audiobook, but I breezed through this one in like two days and I loved every minute of it.
Highly recommended for horror fans that don't need their horror to be grimdark or grounded firmly in reality.

narrator added to the atmosphere
The story was quite fun to listen too. It feels like you are sitting with the character discussing life but instead discussing the taking of lives (see what i did there?). The classic slasher movie fan in me was hoping for a different kind of ending but overall the story was a good time! I recommend the audiobook to get the full experience.
