À propos de cet audio

*USA TODAY Bestseller * Alex Award Winner *

The “viciously clever, over-the-top, genre-skewing” (The New York Times Book Review) classic slasher story with a twist from Stephen Graham Jones, the master of modern horror and bestselling author of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter, The Only Good Indians, and the Indian Lake trilogy.

1989, Lamesa, Texas. A small town driven by oil and cotton—and a place where everyone knows everyone else’s business. So it goes for Tolly Driver, a good kid with more potential than application, seventeen, and about to be cursed to kill for revenge. Here Stephen Graham Jones explores the Texas he grew up in, and shared sense of unfairness of being on the outside through the slasher horror Jones loves, but from the perspective of the killer, Tolly, writing his own autobiography. Find yourself rooting for a killer in this “playful, self-aware, and remarkably gory horror novel” (The New York Times).

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Texas-born and raised, narrator Michael Crouch draws on his roots to bring the title character of this audiobook to life...There’s vomit and blood aplenty, but Crouch’s light touch leaves listeners remembering the love: for the small West Texas town Tolly can never return to and for his best friend, who tried to save Tolly from his fate. Unexpectedly sweet."

Editorial Review

The sweetest little slasher in Texas

Our patience has been rewarded, because they’re finally here: summer, and I Was a Teenage Slasher! The bloodlust is real for Stephen Graham Jones’s new novel, an extra-personal work based on the horror legend’s West Texas upbringing and a love letter to outcasts and slasher films. Our antihero is 17-year-old Tolly Driver, who lives with a plot-pertinent peanut allergy in the podunk town of Lamesa, Texas, and is about to go on a murder spree that will see six of his classmates dead in the summer of 1989. (That’s no spoiler: Driver, typing out his memoir years in the future, says so at the outset.) The trick is how Graham Jones unspools the story, drawing you into Tolly’s voice and his world of hair metal, Dr. Pepper, bullies, unrequited love, tragedy, and a surprisingly sweet friendship you’ll root for. Texan native Michael Crouch is the PERFECT narrator for the story, which goes down like a gory yet heartbreaking coming-of-age—and don’t miss the blood-red cherry on top when the author reads his acknowledgments at the end. — Kat J., Audible Editor

Les plus pertinents

I'll admit that part of me expected a tired and predictable slasher story, given how much Stephen Graham Jones has already tapped that particular vein, but this one was a pleasant surprise. The premise is unconventional, and even a bit silly, but the author does a fantastic job of walking that fine line where the stakes are meaningful and the characters are real and relatable, but the story doesn't take itself too too seriously. Any decent slasher has to acknowledge its own inherent over-the-topness and lean into the camp.

Another thing Jones does really well in this one is voice. The story is told from one character's perspective, and he does it with such a unique voice. Narrator Michael Crouch only enhances the story's voiceyness, which makes it an absolute delight to listen to. This is the closest thing to a "page-turner" I've listened to. I usually take at least a week to finish an audiobook, but I breezed through this one in like two days and I loved every minute of it.

Highly recommended for horror fans that don't need their horror to be grimdark or grounded firmly in reality.
