There were so many characters I loved, some I despised with my whole being and some that were.just there. Some people may not like this style or think it can't be executed properly, but Robertson doesn't disappoint at all. It's unique and worked well for this story's multiple perspectives and storylines. This is my first book by Robertson I have read, and the first thing that caught my attention was his writing style. I was drawn to it from the grisly beginning to the climactic ending. So grab yourself a copy (it’s available from July 1st 2022) on Amazon! Just don’t indulge your sweet tooth and stay away from any cotton candy you may find lying around… no maat how delicious it may look.Ĭlowns, chaos and gore? What did you expect with a title entitled 'The Cotton Candy Massacre'? This story was anything but sweet as its title loosely suggests. And his humour balances the bloody bits of his stories perfectly!
I don’t want to spoil too much of the story or content so I won’t indulge in the details but just let me tell you, this here bloodfest is a party for all lovers of sadistic killings and of those who love blood dripping from the pages! And then there’s another thing I truly loved: the humour! Christopher knows how to entertain his readers.
No Jason Voorhees or Freddie Krueger but a genuine group of killer clowns. But this story goes beyond a normal slasher. In typical Robertson style readers are drawn into an eighties slasherparty in a carnival setting. I was honoured to be asked to become part of the clown posse that had the opportunity to read an ARC of this colourful cotton candy filled bloodfest. Tune in, if you can, because the author of My Zombie Sweetheart welcomes you to The October Society.The Greatest Showman… from Hell… with clowns! (Ain’t that the toot… tootin’ truth, ay yup!) - Cotton Candy Massacre, now on VHS and Beta Max! A series only found in the static between channels, that can only be watched on broken TVs in dusty attics and damp basements. Of misguided misadventure and sinister pranks.Ĭollected here are the first six episodes of the spookiest show that never was. Halloween approaches, and The October Society gathers. "The writing is as clear and descriptive as seeing the scenes unfold in front of you on TV.". "A weird and whimsical collection of heartfelt horror stories that never fail to entertain or thrill." - Jamie Stewart (author of I Hear The Clattering of the Keys and Other Fever Dreams). More than that, he gives us a cast of characters that we can all relate to in some way." - Kelly Brocklehurst (editor of Welcome to the Funhouse). From haunted drive-ins to Halloween night, Robertson gives us stories that are fun, enchanting, and everything in between. "The six tales in The October Society reflect the six characters who tell them.
