Twentieth Anniversary Screening
Twentieth Anniversary Screening | Jeff Strand
2 posts | 1 read | 7 to read
Nominated for the 2021 Bram Stoker Award for Long Fiction! This mockumentary-style dark comedy recounts the grisly events surrounding the terrible slasher flick THE ROOFER, remembered only because an obsessed fan tried to reenact the murders as they played out on the screen. When the same theater shows the film twenty years later, will the warnings that this is a really, really bad idea be justified?

I was totally engrossed by this book. It‘s dark and comedic, but it avoids the pitfall of trying to hard for laughs. The format of the book is setup like a journalist writing an in-depth piece regarding the original Roofer killings before going into twentieth anniversary screening and everything that went horribly wrong with that event. This is a fun, brief summertime read with all of the blockbusters that get released this time of year

Reggie I love this book so much! He‘s so funny. 1y

This is a dark horror comedy. 20 years ago, a horrible slasher called the Roofer came out. The only reason it is remembered at all is because someone went to a theatre and while the film showed tried to replicate the killings. 20 years later against all better judgement, someone is having a 20th anniversary screening with a special guest. A couple of special guests. This was great. I got to listen to Jeff Strand do a reading at Stokercon and 👇🏼

Reggie he just knows how to work in humor into his horror. 2y
