Ander, a teenage social media influencer, is invited to the opening week of Camp 1985. What he and the other teenage influencers don't realise is that this camp is taking them back to the 80s in order to break their addiction to their phones. No phones are allowed in camp, and everything there has been taken straight out of the 80s, including a roller rink and a retro arcade. However, what none of them know is that the camp had existed before. Only it wasn't the fun place it was made out to be. People were tortured and killed before it was shut down for good. And now, someone is hunting the new camp members down one by one.

Yes, yes, YES! Anyone who knows me knows that I am an absolute sucker for horrors that take place at summer camp, I'm obsessed with slashers, and I love the whole 80s nostalgia vibe. So accepting this ARC was a no-brainer. I loved everything about this one. The nostalgia, the gory deaths, and the origin of the camp all hit that sweet spot, giving me the warm and fuzzies. There was a paranormal element to this one, which, as you'll know, I'm not usually fond of, but it complimented this story so well and added an air or mystery. It took me just over 2 hours to read this one because I just couldn't put it down. This is the first book in the series, and I absolutely can not wait for book 2 to be released.
If you're a slasher fan, definitely check this one out.3 s Jeremy Fowler603 22

Matthew R. Corr has created a fantastic new universe and I’m desperate for more!!

Camp 1985 is a campy slasher that readers everywhere are going to love! In addition to having all of the classic tropes and adventures that come out of B movie slashers, this also is unapologetically queer and I loved it!!

At first, I wasn’t exactly sure where this story was going to land, but as it progressed and I got a better idea of the elements of this story, I’m so glad this is going to be a series! I need to know more and have to discover more from these characters!

Enter the nostalgia-laced world of CAMP 1985, A bogus new summer program where parents send their social-media-addicted teens to unplug and make face-to-face connections without the help of a screen. Sounds fun right? Well, that’s what their families thought too.

Matthew R. Corr wrote one of my favorite book last year, Land On Me, so when asked if he could send me an ARC of his latest book, I instantly replied with a big YES. To be honest, my genre isn’t normally horror, but the “camp” setting with an 80s theme was intriguing.

I really loved this book. I was hooked from page 1 and couldn’t put it down. The characters are very relatable with a lot of complexity, which makes the story even more captivating. I instantly fell in love with Anders (MC). It’s a demonstration of courage, friendship, family, and self-love. I really d the surprises and unexpected turns the book takes. The story takes you through a rollercoaster of terror, gore, violence, blood, emotions, and bugs. Yes, bugs! I loved that the author didn’t show all his cards around the development of first love between two of the characters. For me, the supernatural component is what made this book more than just a horror/slasher story. I did question a couple choices the author made with the story but didn’t deter me from loving this book.

This is the first book in the series, which I cannot wait for book 2 to be released. I highly recommend CAMP 1985, which publishes June 14, 2024. Blaine Ebeling5

Camp 1985 really brings the camp slasher vibes in this modern day setting. After 5 social media influencers are sent to a camp meant to mimic the 80’s, they get more than they bargained for. From the different buildings at the camp to the counselor and director, the author did a really good job at describing it all. You get to know the characters and see how some of the people behind the screen may not be how they really are and that could make all the difference. I can’t wait to read what else comes to the Slasherverse!

This is a fun book to read! I love all of the 80’s references and the feel of a Friday the 13th killing spree. This book has a very interesting storyline with current cell phone and internet obsessions being taken away from a group of teens to go to an 80’s camp. There’s a lot of horror, gore and intense scenes with a crazed spirit coming back to kill! There’s also a bit of a sweet love story added in. It’s a fast and exciting book! Ashli 38 1 follower
