i read the original chopping spree when it was part of rewind or die and while i love angela sylvaine’s writing i didn’t love chopping spree the first time around — reading this new and improved version though, boy is it a perfect 80s mall horror!

chopping spree takes all the things you love from the 80s like a killer soundtrack and a mall to die for and gives it’s a modern look — with a murderous twist 🔪

there’s actual character depths, ye old teenage fear, build-up to something bigger and some kills that are to die for 🩸 and it genuinely feels like a clear improvement to the original one especially with the characters. which makes it worth reading if you’ve read the OG chopping spree! 

if you’ve not read it before, but love 80s horror, teen slashers and thought the fear street films on netflix were great you’ll absolutely love chopping spree (and honestly, the cover makes it worth buying anyway!) 

// thank you to the author for the ARC and sorry that life got in the way of me posting a review sooner. loved it!!
