ALSO CANNIBALS, HOLLY!!!! Motherfucking cannibals!!! The pace is incredibly quick, the writing is is a little raw & urgent, and the whole goddamn thing just blew me away. I thought this was just an unrelenting book, cover to cover. But while I spent my twenties basically drowning in gory movies, I never really sought out much in the way of horror to read beyond THE KING. I know I’ve mentioned this to you before, but sometimes I feel a bit underread in the horror genre, excluding Stephen King. Nearby, a savage human family with a taste for flesh lurks in the darkening woods, watching, waiting for the moon to rise and night to fall…Īnd before too many hours pass, five civilized, sophisticated people and one tired old country sheriff will learn just how primitive we all are beneath the surface…and that there are no limits at all to the will to survive.Ĭorey: I’ll just come right out and say this: Off Season is probably the most brutal fucking book I’ve ever read. A beautiful New York editor retreats to a lonely cabin on a hill in the quiet Maine beach town of Dead River-off season-awaiting her sister and friends.

Nellie spent as much time hiding her bruises as she did making a home, being sure to keep the sordid details of her life a secret. But as readers see in chapters from Nellie’s point of view, her life wasn’t just a parade of fancy desserts and dinner parties-she was harshly controlled by her cruel and physically abusive husband. Alice even enjoys testing out the cookbook, making vintage recipes like Baked Alaska.

These references actually really confused me at first, until I read that it was actually an updated version if the book with current popular culture references! This makes the book relevant for today’s teens. The girls watched Scandal and Grey’s Anatomy. Since I knew this book was published 14 years ago, I was shocked at all of the current references.
