Now this is the horror story I've been waiting for. Loved the ending! I'm off to see what else this author has written.

Nice throwback unstoppable slasher romp chock full of every trope imaginable. Didn't love the story, but I did love parts. The bear story was great. The description is super accurate if you're deciding whether or not to read.
