We loved Grady Hendrix’s The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires so much we made it a Best Book of the Month pick. A story about a sinister stranger insinuating himself into the life of a Charleston housewife and doing battle for her immortal.
We asked Hendrix what he’s read and loved lately, and here’s what he told us: “Reading is the one thing that gives me absolute joy in this fallen world. Here are a few of the books I read over the last 18 months that felt like they hooked jumper cables to my heart and pumped me full of life.”
Jaws is a powerhouse movie, but the book it’s based on sags with subplots about the mafia, adultery, and real estate. There are no subplots in Killer. It is the book people think Peter Benchley’s Jaws is. Starring an out-of-control killer whale hunting humans trapped on an ice floe, it’s the beach read of the century and it hits you like a locomotive.
I first stumbled across it while writing Paperbacks from Hell, my history of the horror paperback boom of the ‘70s and ‘80s, and I re-read it again recently to write the introduction to Valancourt’s re-release, and it still rocks you like a hurricane.
