Jon Cohn and 3 other people liked Rhiannon Richards's review of Kill Beth:
Kill Beth by Jon Cohn
"I had no idea what was going on half the time and I’m still thinking about it. I love how it is up for interpretation for each reader. "
Kill Beth by Jon Cohn
"this was superb! anyone who is a fan of horror or theatre would love this! this was such a thought out mix of events that had me in goosebumps! the spontaneous writing is something I'm going to try out myself!"
Kill Beth by Jon Cohn
"Jon Cohn’s Kill Beth is a taut, psychological horror that thrives in the shadows between guilt, paranoia, and the inescapable pull of the past. The novel’s theatrical backdrop heightens the tension turning the stage itself into a haunted mindscape wh" Read more of this review »

The Creed Falls Massacres by Wicked House Publishing
"This book was an absolute riot. It was crazy, frenetic fun in a way that reminded me of those ensemble horror movies from the 90s and 00s like Eight Legged Freaks, Slither, and many others. Fast paced, darkly funny, and filled with great characters, " Read more of this review »

Quotes by Jon Cohn  (?)

“Honestly, if Paul Rudd were here and he asked you to go exploring with him, would you really say, ‘oh no, thank you, Paul Rudd, my boyfriend needs me?”
Jon Cohn, Slashtag

“While I don’t have any physical scars to show it, I understand what it’s like to live every day with regret over something that felt so small in the moment. At least with grand risks we know the potential consequences and have a modicum of understanding that we only have ourselves to blame. But it’s the regret and rage over the small moments that really haunt us, because they feel so avoidable in hindsight.”
Jon Cohn, Kill Beth

“a bit like camp counselors; you’re thrown into a job looking after what essentially amounts to a bunch of rich kids. You’re isolated from the world, and the only people you can relate to are the other counselors. Add in a romantic Hawaiian backdrop, and it’s like getting thrown into an emotional blender.”
Jon Cohn, The Island Mother

“There's some catharsis in just going through the motions—loading up everything I own into one bag and pretending like that’s all it takes to leave. Most times, it’s enough to soothe the itch for a while, like a cortisone cream for the soul.”
Jon Cohn, The Island Mother

“First of all, this is not a hotel. This is an exclusive resort for members and their guests only. Anyone you see on this property not wearing an orange shirt is not just rich—they’re obscenely rich.”
Jon Cohn, The Island Mother

“I move a little closer to get a better look at the dead whale. The entire flank of the behemoth has been eaten away. Its guts splay out across the beach, presented like a buffet for maggots.”
Jon Cohn, The Island Mother

“I reach back into my bag, fumbling around for anything I can use as a weapon. My fingers find purchase on the paper-wrapped base of a snow globe, and a white-hot surge of energy pours into me. I hold my family memory tightly as I smash it into Ricky’s temple.”
Jon Cohn, The Island Mother

“I squint at its features and vaguely recognize its face, even though it’s distorted and deformed beyond human proportions. Its jaw opens, revealing an overstuffed mouth lined with long, thin teeth, curving like the ribs of the dead whale. Without moving its lips, it whispers a message. ‘It’s you.”
Jon Cohn, The Island Mother
