More comedy than horror, Three Fingered Willy draws inspiration from classic ’80s campground slashers—Friday the 13th, Sleepaway Camp, etc.—while adding its own comic twists.
If you like your horror bloody, you’ll be pleased that amid the campy dialogue and teen soap opera angst are some genuinely brutal kills. The author clearly did some deep thinking about the various ways someone can be murdered by an assailant wielding pruning shears.

The prose was quite good, with some terrific, often hilarious metaphors.

The middle of the story lagged a bit for me, as the story basically followed the campground slasher formula. But the final act was intense.

There were a couple of what I took to be Seinfeld references, perhaps making the connection of Jason Alexander’s role in The Burning.

I give it a strong recommendation.
