What if the slasher wasn’t just a monster in a mask… but a person you couldn’t help but feel sorry for?

In this episode, Jim dives into Stephen Graham Jones’ newest horror novel, I Was a Teenage Slasher — a brilliant, blood-soaked story that somehow makes the killer the one you sympathize with.

From the author of The Indian Lake Trilogy, this book flips every slasher trope on its head.

It’s raw, emotional, and hauntingly human — horror with heart, written by a master of the genre.

Jim breaks down what makes this story such a fascinating companion piece to My Heart is a Chainsaw, why it stands out among Jones’s recent masterpieces, and who will especially love this one.
