with all the presented evidence, you sir, are quite leaveable. His hobbies include obsessing over an ex-girlfriend that left him for a life in Hollywood, putting up with degrading comments from his best friend's obnoxious girlfriend, and endlessly watching the same old, little-known horror movies. Liam Carpenter is an unmotivated underachiever who lives in a small apartment above his Aunt's garage. The events happening were so well written that I could picture them in my mind as being on a television screen. Four out of five stars.īONE SAW, by Patrick Lacey, reads so much like a beloved B-horror movie that I felt like I was watching a VHS tape, rather than reading a novel much of the time. The ending was the bloody hell I knew it would be.īone Saw is one of the best slasher books I've read in a long time, one with surprisingly deep characters. Once I started reading, I read it in two sittings. Lacey knows how to jack up the suspense and ladle out the gore. Clive Sherman's films look real because they are and Bass Falls is going to suffer! Yeah, I enjoyed the shit out of it. It's almost like a slasher movie version of Night Film. Not until he meets Michelle, a waitress with secrets of her own. Liam is a sadly relatable, a horror buff with not a whole lot going on. Turns out the movies are actually snuff films and Pigfoot, the star of Clive Sherman's movies, is a real monster. Anyway, this wound up being terrific despite my confusion.īone Saw is the story of a down on his luck guy whose favorite horror director comes to town to make a horror movie. For some reason, I had Patrick Lacey confused with Joseph D'Lacey. Max Booth at Perpetual Motion Machine Press hit me up and offered me an ARC of this.
However, Sherman's gory films look so realistic for a reason.
But there is a bright spot: his favorite horror film director, Clive Sherman, is making a movie in his home town. Liam's life isn't going great, even before the video store where he works goes out of business.
