** The Snail is pleased to have some special bonuses to deliver along with this new book.**

Heartbreaking, dripping in gore, life-affirming, nasty, and sweet, My Heart Is a Chainsaw had me from the first thirty pages and didn't stop. You’ll be terrified to turn the page, but so invested in the story that you can’t help but do just that. Jade is a half-Indian teenager with an axe to grind nearly as big as Jack Torrance's literal one. She's obsessed with slasher flicks, and when a new girl and her wealthy family arrive in town, Jade is certain she has glimpsed an incredible omen to a bloody and exciting summer: an actual Final Girl in the flesh. People start dying, and violently. Are their deaths horrible coincidences? Or is something more sinister stalking the town? 

Especially for lovers of slow-burn horror and horror movies (there are lots of pop culture references!), anyone with a love of camp, fans of Stephen King
(Note on content: sexual abuse, graphic violence, animal cruelty)

“Jade isn’t the final girl; she doesn’t fit the requirements for a typical slasher flick. When her town becomes the setting for a real-life slasher case, she fills the role of wise woman to the appropriate final girl.”
— April Gosling, Boulder Book Store, Boulder, CO
