About this item
In Stephen Graham Jones' gripping slasher novel set in 1989 Lamesa, Texas, "My Heart Is a Chainsaw," readers are thrust into a world where small-town dynamics and personal tragedies collide with chilling consequences.
At the center of the story is Tolly Driver, a seventeen-year-old with immense potential but little motivation. Living in a town dominated by oil and cotton industries, where everyone's lives intertwine, Tolly finds himself on the fringes, an outsider who sees the unfairness and harsh realities of his environment. It's in this backdrop that Tolly becomes entangled in a curse that compels him towards acts of revenge and violence.
Jones masterfully explores the psychological depths of his characters, particularly Tolly, who narrates his own autobiography—a unique twist that offers insight into the mind of a killer. As Tolly's narrative unfolds, readers are drawn into a world where horror meets empathy, where the lines between victim and perpetrator blur, and where the desire for justice twists into a thirst for vengeance.
"My Heart Is a Chainsaw" combines the nostalgia of 1980s teen movies with a dark, blood-curdling narrative that challenges traditional slasher conventions. Jones's storytelling prowess shines as he navigates themes of identity, justice, and the haunting impact of small-town secrets. Through Tolly's eyes, we witness a transformation from overlooked teenager to a figure of terror, all while grappling with his internal struggles and the external forces that shape his destiny.
For fans of Riley Sager and Grady Hendrix, "My Heart Is a Chainsaw" promises a riveting journey through horror and tragedy, where rooting for a killer becomes a chilling yet compelling exploration of human nature and the relentless pursuit of retribution. ❤️📚❤️
