Hi, fellow 9th Circle dwellers. As much as I enjoy masked maniacs, hammer-wielding wackos, and immortal harbingers of death and destruction, I have never come across an anthology like ‘Camp Slasher Lake: Vol 2’ before. Maybe I would have, had I knowledge of Volume 1, but regardless, this type of a collection is a first for me.
I read a lot of anthologies, but never have I found one that quite encapsulates the glory of the slasher movie like the collection of stories contained in these blood-thirsty pages. If you’re a fan of ruthless, seemingly-unstoppable serial killers, cults, and the general feel of the 80’s (that all the very best slasher films are drenched in), this is an anthology you’ll most likely enjoy.
My favourite story – by far – was ‘Disassembler 3: The Revenge of Billy Burns’ (by Justin Cawthorne). The following paragraph will contain spoilers for this particular story so skip ahead if you don’t want to know the details. This story is balls-out madness – the very best kind of madness. If the ‘”Mangler of Morning Springs” isn’t enough to get you yelling “run bitch, ruuuuun!”, then perhaps the UFO that beams up both him and his unsuspecting victim will be. Or the body-switching teenage alien that is SO gonna be in trouble with his mother later. I swear, this story has such a good sense of humour and despite the many bizarre occurences in it, somehow doesn’t overstep the mark of what’s acceptable. At least, not for me. It’s the perfect mix of meta humour and savage homage – I loved it.
If you enjoy slasher movies, I’d recommend checking this out. It has summer camps, cults, scary killers (lots of those), unlikely heroes and survivors, and lots more. If you’d like to get a copy, you can find it at the link below:
