Here’s the set-up:

Sometime toward the end of Leo Thomas’ junior year, the tiny college town of Epshire became home to four axe murderers, two of them serial killers. No one could say why, exactly. And no one could make the killing stop.

Leo’s no hero. He just wants to play lacrosse. Meet girls. Hang on the front porch with his best friends. But his life is about to be changed forever by an evil he can’t understand.

Sever is a coming-of-age novella wrapped in a horror story wrapped in a love letter to college, a time when you’re supposed to be invincible, a time when you’re not supposed to be able to die. It’s perfect for anyone who went to college in the ’90s, and then had to face the horror of growing up.

“Sever is a surprisingly wistful and tender story, for a horror novel. The book is in some ways a teen horror movie in book form – one of those movies where it’s never safe to split up and bloodshed waits around every corner – but there are some interesting twists to it as well. It combines an affectionate farewell to the relaxed, carefree days of college with the growing terror of a pair of brutal murderers on the loose. Ingwalson does a masterful job conveying the bittersweet beauty of the last year of college, before the responsibilities and worries of adulthood take over. Leo’s voice, which narrates the tale, is by turns wryly amused by his adolescent self and full of horrified grief over the events of the summer. 4.5 stars.” – IndieReader.com
