I am so excited to read the finale of this trilogy! Chainsaw was my second book read by Jones and I immediately jumped into its sequel (Don't Fear the Reaper).
Jones does a great job of building relationships not only between characters but with characters and their environment. Indian Lake, Terra Nova, and the whole of Proofrock create such a violently beautiful world for Jade and others around her!
Took me a while to get into this book and the main character, but the ending chapters certainly were much more fast-paced and not at all where I thought things were going. Overall, this was a fun horror/mystery book and I look forward to reading the second book in the trilogy!
I'm a fan of Stephen Graham Jones and his roaming, conversational style. I realize his voice doesn't work for anyone. My Heart is a Chainsaw is about a girl who uses slasher films to understand the world around her. It's funny, sharp, and full of gore and trauma. If you tried to read Graham's The Only Good Indians and were put off by the voice, this book has that same talkative patter to it, but it's reeled in nicely. I quite enjoyed it.
