Heads Will Roll

"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 usually love campy slashers but this one was just a little too chaotic for me and didn’t make much sense. I enjoyed the premise and set up for this book but the execution wasn’t there for me. This one is honestly hard tomrveeie becasue it’s everything I love, summer camp slasher mixed with social media and social commentary but it just didn’t work for me. Too much was going on, and none of it came together well for me in the ending.

This was wildly odd and wonderful to listen to - loosely a book in the sense that it was on audible, but actually a dramatic play / podcast style. Crazy evil queen and her cursed raven friend have a great friendship.

This was honestly such a fun read!

I absolutely love summer camp horror, and this book gave me everything I could want from the genre. While I felt that it was a bit too slow in the beginning, once the plot started going, it REALLY started to go, resulting in a back half that was jam-packed with action. The characters were fun, even if they may have been one-note. There’s plenty of twists and turns, which makes for a very, very fun and unpredictable read.

I am not one for audiobooks but this was very entertaining. Kate McKinnon was highly comedic in her roles and I enjoyed following the plots of Mourtana and Jojo. This comedy-fantasy that is set with current day references and language is a recommended for an road trip. You will find yourself laughing.*** not kid friendly
