I’m not really a dinosaur or a time traveling fan. But It’s a Friday the 13th story and everyone needs a good Jason tale from time to time. Even though I am giving it five stars there are some negatives. 1. Not enough Freddy. Freddy > Jason. Can’t be having disrespect for Fred. 2. Percy Pringle as a bad bad guy. My Percy is and always will be hanging out in a funeral home waiting for the next match to summon his undead demon of a taker. But dumb jokes aside. I love the Percy reference. At least I hope with the authors history or being an independent wrestler that he was reference the late Paul Bearer. If you enjoy the Friday the 13th movies then this will be a good read for you. It’s a shame there aren’t more Jason, Freddy and other horror villain books out there.

This was fun! I loved the duality of serial killers and dinosaurs. I will say that the audio would have been better if it wasn’t for virtual narration.
