If you enjoy these episodes, please let us know by rating and reviewing! We’re also including below a reading primer for anyone wanting to learn more about the slasher sub-genre and its conventions. But did it successfully capture the shlock and gore of 80s horror, or did it get lost in the nostalgia? Dawn and I delve into how Roubique’s story interacts with slasher conventions in some surprising and effective ways in this episode.Īnd because every slasher deserves a sequel, we’re also dropping a second episode that looks at Kill River 2 (2017), which follows the Final Girl back into suburbia and asks some uncomfortable but essential questions about what it really means to survive a traumatic event at a young age. What follows is a heart pounding game of cat and mouse with twists we did not see coming. Billed as a slasher film in book form, the story follows four campers who stumble upon an abandoned waterpark in the middle of the woods. This bi-weekly (we hope) podcast deep dives into one spine-tingling read per episode and we’re thrilled to kick things off with Cameron Roubique’s masterful Kill River (2015). But we also love ranting and raving over dark and disturbing popular fiction! And so, the Bloodcurdling Book Club was born. Listen, we love horror films, and we especially love talking about them on our podcast Horror Homeroom Conversations.
