So I can't say this anything groundbreaking. The overarching narrative is yet another "counselors at a summer camp get slaughtered by masked killers" story which is experiencing a resurgence recently. And that portion of the book so far doesn't seem to deviate too much from what has come before. However, there are a few things that recommend this book as one worth checking out in the sea of similar stories. First is the focus not only on a relationship that seemingly sprang from the tragic events at the camp, but is also queer. I have to applaud a horror book that makes a female couple its main focus in a realistic and relatable way. Then again, this is Jennifer Dugan and she is good at what she does. While the LGTBQ community loves horror, it doesn't always love them back, so this kind of representation is crucial and important. These aren't characters whose whole identity is their sexuality, nor are they sainted because of it. They are just humans who love other humans with the same gender identity, and that is what is sorely needed in this subgenre. The other thing is the deep and accurate exploration Dugan gives of trauma and trying to navigate it. While there is a mystery and a series of grisly murders at the center of the story, the main focus (at least from the first look) is how the main character Sloan is coping with what happened to her and how she is attempting to rebuild some semblance of a life so marked by the "before" and "after" of a traumatic event. For many of us this hits close to home and the themes of resisting acknowledgement even as you know it's required for the healing you desperately crave are familiar feelings. So while I don't think that there is a lot new on the surface of this story, I do believe it is a worthwhile read because of the author's focus and insightful examinations of human nature and love.
