"Time had no meaning in death."
The Redwood Ripper is a vengeful spirit, a woodsman who haunts the woods and hunts those who take from the land but never give back. Just an urban legend talked about by the crew of a timber mill on Vancouver Island. Until one night, he wakes up...
This was a fun, gory novella that I read in one sitting. The background story for the Ripper was great, the characters were fun, and I loved the Canadian setting. And of course, lots of blood and gore!
This one was really short coming in at less than 100 pages, so there's not much more for me to say without spoiling it. If you enjoy classic slashers, then I definitely recommend this fun, bloody novella for spooky season.
Don't take from the land without giving back, or else the Redwood Ripper will come for you!
