CANDY CAIN KILLS reviewed by Kirkus

Candy Cain Kills reviewed by Kirkus

Kirkus recently published their review of Candy Cain Kills by Brian McAuley. Candy Cain Kills is the second entry in our Killer VHS Series.

“Sublimely drawn characters fuel a slasher romp that delivers the goods. While the author satisfies the genre by showcasing the brutal murders, there’s ample suspense, as a genuinely scary killer roams the property during a snowstorm that makes escape an unlikely option.”

We’d like to thank Kirkus for their review, which you can read here.

Candy Cain Kills is available to pre-order in paperback and ebook ahead of its November 14, 2023 release date!
