Summary : In the early 70’s 2 young woman are found brutally murdered in the town of Raven Hill , getting the killer the nickname “The Raven Hill Butcher ” . Soon after the people of the town get smart and start moving around in groups and a decade later the killer is all but forgotten . The town will soon learn how much of a mistake that was as Christy gathers a bunch of her friends together in her uncle’s house and it isn’t long before these unfortunate souls start dropping like flies .

“Being up here probably won’t keep you away from David for too long . He’d walk through a bed of flames if he saw ass on the other end .”

Review : A Christmas themed slasher ? This could either be really good or really bad . Well I’m happy to say that the book is actually pretty good . I’m not going to pretend like the characters are deep but it’s a slasher , we can’t judge the book on that basis . We can judge it on atmosphere ( which it nails ) , the set up ( which is also well done ) , and the kills ( which they took a good stab at ) . If you want a quick gory read then you could do worse . Go ahead and check it out .

“The Butcher isn’t human . He feeds off fear and he’s had years to feed . However strong he was back then , it’s a million times stronger now .”
