Hi all! Looking for books to read for our slasher themed summer book club. Ideally 300 pages or under. We just got through a couple splatter punk novels ( Playground and Woom), and I am hoping to get away from pure gore/ gross stuff for something that feels a little more like an 80s horror movie.

Any of Grady Hendrix’s books, although there is gore in most of his. Patricia wants to Cuddle might be a good one. Clown in a Cornfield as well. Maybe some Stephen King? The Body might work.
If you haven’t read The Troop by Nick Cutter, it’s a must for a slasher-themed summer. Gross, tense, and fast-paced — you’ll fly through it. Also, Clown in a Cornfield is perfect for the vibe. Quick, bloody fun.
(Oh — and if you’re into books with strong takeaways, I found this thing that shares one every week, short and impactful. Happy to send it if you’re curious.)
