Labriola Center Book Club: 'I Was a Teenage Slasher'

Join the Labriola National American Indian Data Center for a virtual book club on Sunday, July 26 to discuss "I Was a Teenage Slasher" by Stephen Graham Jones. This book reworks classic slasher tropes with a twist that keeps readers turning pages.

Book synopsis:

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).
