The South Georgia Massacre: A Slasher Horror Novel
PRE-ORDER AT $0.99. THE PRICE WILL INCREASE TO $3.99 UPON RELEASE!
They don't know they're next. But they will...
It's the Fourth of July—a day of freedom and independence—and "Blue" Jean and her friends are all headed to a hell of a party, one being held in a Revolutionary-era graveyard. They've got a keg in the back of the van, a bag of weed on the dashboard, and a whole lot of time to kill.
"I couldn't put it down, had to keep reading. I'm a big Stephen King fan, and although no one can come close, I got a similar satisfaction from this book." —praise for The Playroom
When they stop for gas in a rural outpost, they pique the interest of the dim locals, only to have them chase the hippie wannabes to a secluded spot in the backwoods nearby.
And someone sinister seems to be hiding there. Waiting for them to step off the highway and into his lair.
That's where death awaits...in the woods of South Georgia.
"I'm a big Stephen King fan, and although no one can come close, I definitely got a similar satisfaction from this book." —praise for The A Horror Novel .
South Georgia Massacre is a love letter to classic slasher movies from the 1970s and 1980s, especially that one directed by Tobe Hooper. Fans of the works of Paul Tremblay , Stephen Graham Jones , and Grady Hendrix will appreciate this sly satirical horror novel, from the author of The Playroom . It will be the first in an anthology tentatively called the Kegger series.

One hell of a killer day
I decided to read this book as I like the description and the elements of the book. A group of friends decide to go to a Revolutionary party somewhere in the middle of nowhere it’ll be fun and a good time. This is where things went horribly wrong for these group of friends. Everything you can think of that shouldn’t happen does. I like how it was a short but action filled read. The author up the ante with the gore and violent scenes. The best way to describe this book is think if Halloween and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre had a mash up. I recommend this book to anyone who likes an entertaining read this is perfect for a Halloween read.

Wallace Henry impressed me here. This is as classic a horror setup as exists: a group of hippies in the 70's head out on a road trip to join a graveyard party. Along the way, they are accosted by a group of scary hillbillies that don't care for the color of one of their friends. The horror spirals from there, hitting all the sweet spots of the genre before hinting that maybe, just maybe, there's a bit more going on here than we realize. Any horror fan that sticks with it until the end will be left wanting more.

Was really into this book lol for the first 65% or so… then it take a different turn, a turn that IMO was not needed, the author had me with a backwoods slasher tale… but a pretty cool read for any horror fan.

This was a super fun and interesting premise and a good time overall! The glaring similarities to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre are too intense to not make this lose a star, but I understand the point of it by the end. Still fun!
