I think my favorite part was the explanation of where politicians come from, I won't spoil it but it was goddamn funny. I got a real Lovecraft vibe from it, partly from the eternal evil and partly because I had visions of the Whately family in the second half of the book. This was far from the typical slasher plot however. I loved all the music references, right up my alley. The goth girl was a nice addition to the cast even if a tiny bit out of the time period (to my memory anyway). The tropes are here: the jock, the jock's hot girlfriend, the nerd etc. I have a feeling that anybody who didn't grow up with cheesy 80s slasher movies may not truly appreciate this story to its full extent. I have really come to enjoy reading shorter bizarro books (as opposed to 400 page novels), I am really impressed at how invested I can become in the characters even at the much shorter page count. This is yet another book that I would not have read if not for it being a group read in the Bizarro Fiction group, and yet again it's a winner.
