Reviews"Taking an axe to smart phones, celebrity, and cancel culture, Heads Will Roll is a slasher that is both bloody and uplifting. And fun! Every copy should come with a bucket of popcorn." --Gus Moreno, author of This Thing Between Us "Beautifully written and impossible to put down." --Fiona Cummins, bestselling author of All of Us are Broken "Winning's latest is a warm love letter to slasher flicks... [he] masterfully builds a story that will leave readers breathless.... The pacing is frenetic and captivating...Recommend to those who enjoyed My Heart Is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones, The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix, or Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare." -- Library Journal "Winning takes cancel culture to terrifying extremes in this gruesome yet surprisingly upbeat horror novel... Between the frequent jump scares and blood spillage, Heads Will Roll is packed with an awful lot of heart. Readers will be on the edges of their seats." -- Publishers Weekly "This thrilling summer camp slasher horror had us hooked, eagerly turning the pages to uncover its next chilling twist." -- Capes and Tights "Combining heart-in-mouth scares with a wicked sense of humor, Heads Will Roll explores how social media makes monsters of us all" --Matt Glasby, author of The Book of Horror, "Taking an axe to smart phones, celebrity, and cancel culture, Heads Will Roll is a slasher that is both bloody and uplifting.

Great fun, especially for readers who enjoy the gorier, campier side of horror." -- Booklist "If you're missing '80's slashers and the Friday the 13th franchise, this is for you. Scares, gore, laughs, heart and just enough social commentary, fans of Grady Hendrix, Brian McAuley and Stephen Graham Jones unite, there's a new slasher in town, and yes, HEADS WILL ROLL." -- FanFiAddict "Frightening, heartfelt, and darkly funny, Heads Will Roll is a gleefully violent homage to the horror genre.

Synopsis"Very excited to read this slasher" --Stephen Graham Jones, via Twitter Willow's worst nightmare was being canceled. But the shadows in the woods of Camp Castaway might destroy more than her reputation. After sitcom star Willow tweets herself into infamy and stumbles blind-drunk into a swimming pool, her agent ships her off to Camp Castaway. Nestled deep in upstate New York, Castaway is a summer camp for adults who are desperate to leave their mistakes behind. No real names, no phones . . . no way to call for help. Willow's fellow campers seem okay. Her own favorite actress is even here, making a s'more. And did that jaded writer, Dani, just wink at her? But the peaceful vibe is shattered when one of the campers vanishes and Willow finds a mutilated doll in her room with a threatening message rolled up inside its mouth. Terror grips the group, campers begin to lose their heads--literally--and disturbing past deeds come to light. Is Willow about to get cancelled all over again, this time for good?, Willow's worst nightmare was being cancelled. But the shadows in the woods of Camp Castaway might destroy more than her reputation. After sitcom star Willow tweeted herself into infamy and had to be dragged blind-drunk out of a swimming pool, her agent shipped her off to the woodsy and wonderfully anonymous confines of Camp Castaway. Tucked away in the trees of upstate New York, Castaway is a summer camp for adults in desperate need of leaving behind their mistakes, their social media accounts, their lives. No real names, no phones...no way to call for help. Willow is relieved to find that her fellow campers seem okay. To her shock, her own favourite actress is here, sitting by the campfire and roasting a s'more. And did that jaded writer, Dani, just wink at her? But the peaceful vibe is shattered when a terrifying woman pops shrieking from the wardrobe in Willow's room. Soon after, one of the campers vanishes. Is Willow about to get cancelled all over again, this time for good? Soon, terror grips the group, campers begin to lose their heads-literally!-and Willow and her new friends are on the run. As paranoia grows and disturbing past deeds come to light, this escape from their shallow lifestyles might just lead to a set of shallow graves.
