The Killer on the Road: The Babysitter Lives
by Stephen Graham Jones

A one-two punch of grindhouse horror from one of the craft’s most inventive practitioners. Jones is riding high on his much-lauded vampire Western (The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, 2025) but this isn’t a step back by any means, just a palate cleanser, two novels joined back-to-back. These twinned tales of Final Girls under threat from paranormal entities swings less literary, but fans of the author’s Jade Daniels trilogy, not to mention slasher flicks in general, should be delighted with the gruesome results.
