Want a Little Scare?

Want to read something that will scare you out of your skin try The Summer Is Ended and We Are Not Yet Saved by Joey Comeau (2014)

Eleven-year-old Martin is used to entrails—his mother does special-effect makeup for horror movies—but would like to keep his inside of his body. A maniac employed at his bible camp has other intentions. The title of Comeau’s previous novel would have worked here just as well: the gory killings are one bloody thing after the other, stacking up as a reminder that we’ve created a prolific genre around watching kids get murdered in inventive ways.
