My Heart Is a Chainsaw (The Indian Lake Trilogy, #1)

by Stephen Graham Jones

Finally, after all these years, she understands Laurie Strode: you cringe, you fall, you shriek and you cry. Never because you want to, not because you intend to, but because it’s scary shit. The body’s gonna do what the body’s gonna do, and screams aren’t at all voluntary.

“Kids believe in the boogeyman. They know to hide.”

It’s Hardy, Jade sees. He’s dying, is still trying to save her, because he’s not going to let Jade die in these waters like his daughter did. It’s what dads do. It’s what they’re supposed to do.

Some girls just don’t know how to die.

Letha’s too pure to kill unprovoked like that. The world won’t let her deliver a blow that deep, that permanent. Leave that for the Jades of the world.
