If it had been any longer, I probably would have hated it. At least it’s short, and I was able to finish it in 2 sittings. Joyride was a little bit better than that piece of shit, but the only real tension here comes from not knowing how the next teenager is going to be murdered. It reminded me a little bit of David Robbin’s dreadful Hell- O-Ween. This is a “slasher”, and although I hadn’t ever thought about it much before, Joyride convinced me that I don’t like slashers very much. There’s a backstory given to the murderer, and while it explains his inability to regulate his saliva output, I felt like it passed over a few of the transitional stages between high-school loser and outright murderous ghoul. Once the killing starts, there’s not many directions the story can go, and the rest of the book is rather underwhelming.

When I saw a copy the other day, I jumped at the chance to read it.Ī group of teenagers decide to party in a cemetery. I knew affordable copies are scarce, and I think I had even seen people mention it fondly.

The fact that a book is hard to find is often enough to make me want to read it.
