Don’t miss today’s Thriller of the Day
Sever
The next book in the Sever universe is coming Halloween of 2019!
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 drink beer with his friends. Play lacrosse. And enjoy the last summer of his life. But his very being is about to be touched by an evil he can not 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.
“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
