Trip Chainsaw
For God’s sake, don’t take the acid!
Seven teenagers gather at an isolated house in the woods for an LSD party, but the strange drug annihilates reality and unleashes an irrational nightmare. Jason Stanton is a horror movie fanatic who worships the films of Hooper, Romero, and Raimi. His trip dissolves imagery from these classics into a mélange of pure madness, and externalizes his hallucinations into a real world acid party chainsaw massacre. Trip Chainsaw is like an ultra-violent video nasty in your head, with a post-modern twist of hallucinogenic insanity.
It’s a bad trip.

A Horror Bookworm Recommendation
Trip Chainsaw by Christian H. Smith
https://horrorbookwormreviews.com/
Way out in the country sits an old isolated house, seven friends plan the perfect mind-expanding party. However, when a stranger knocks on the door of this acid trip of a party, it quickly becomes a hallucinogenic disaster. Dabbling in psychedelic drugs and a fan of horror movies, the evaluation of subject Jason Stanton, has begun as part of the investigation of “that night”.
Every once in a blue moon a book crosses your reading path that totally relates to an inner guilty pleasure. Enter Trip Chainsaw by Christian H. Smith. Remember that funny feeling you felt in your tummy when you watched Evil Dead for the first time? How about Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Return Of The Living Dead? Welcome to the equivalent book form of those classic films…Trip Chainsaw.
Lumbering zombies, foul demonic entities and fear of spiders, these classic horror film settings are all included within the blood stained pages of this trippy story. Add some LSD intoxication within a secluded wooded area and you have a recipe for one heck of a chainsaw buzzing good time. It doesn’t get any better than over-the-top evil and being stoned on the effects of a new strange drug at the same time…right?! Just remember kids, Drugs Are Bad, mmKay?
Written with distorted colors of horror and a small dab of found footage, this work of unholy fiction leaves a strong metallic aftertaste of intense imagery. Christian H. Smith brilliantly lures the reader into the darkness of his basement by incorporating a kaleidoscope of creepiness, gore and unworldly organic horror. What happens in Smith’s basement stays in Smith’s basement. (Cue the ominous music!) Brought to you by “Eager Beaver” chainsaws and Madness Heart Press, this is a Five Star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Horror Bookworm Recommendation if there ever was one.

A group of friends go to our house in the woods to drop some LSD together. When they all start tripping a man comes to the door and things take a turn for the worst.
This was such a good story. I felt like I was going on this trip with them. The story was written so well as crazy as every scene I could almost imagine it perfectly. All the characters were written so well. The whole investigation aspect of the story was done so well. The end was so gorgeous and the symbolism for everything was a 10 out of 10.

4.2⭐
This was very entertaining to say the least. In only about 130 pages, there was a LOT going on (pros - it kept me turning the page | cons - I wish it had been about 100 pages longer)
I have never tried LSD but after reading this, it's safe to say if I ever did, I would definitely think of this book and it would lead to a terrible time. It made me wonder what someone who had done LSD would think of this.
Fun little read that I would definitely recommend.

I will never be able to look at a chainsaw without thinking of this book.
The ways they were used were very creative and absolutely terrifying!
This had me feeling uneasy from the very beginning, and the uneasiness stayed with me all the way to the end.
This kind of felt like walking through an old video rental place while also not knowing what is actually happening.
Stay away from the chainsaws!
