Brimming with dark humor, violence, and mystery, The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre is a blood-soaked slasher sure to keep readers cringing, laughing, and guessing until the very last page.

Rose DuBois is not your average final girl.

Rose is in her late 70s, living out her golden years at the Autumn Springs Retirement Home.

When one of her friends dies alone in her apartment, Rose isn’t too concerned. Accidents happen, especially at this age!

Then another resident drops dead. And another. With bodies stacking up, Rose can’t help but wonder: are these accidents? Old age? Or something far more sinister?

Together with her best friend Miller, Rose begins to investigate. The further she digs, the more convinced she becomes: there’s a killer on the loose at Autumn Springs, and if she isn’t careful, Rose may be their next victim.

An Uncharacteristic But Effective Slasher

If you enjoy slashers, The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre should scratch your murderous itch. While Fracassi does nothing outside the genre's tropes, he populates this story with lovable characters you can't help but root for. Death scenes are brutal, the killer probably won't be who you expect, and the narrative plays with varying viewpoints that only add to the tension.

I recommend this to fans of slashers and mysteries alike.

Thank you to Tor Nightfire and NetGalley for the review.
