“I am beyond thrilled that THE DUKE is ranking #1 on Amazon’s horror book list!” says writer and creator Todd Nunes. “As a horror super fan myself, I love this character and had a lot of fun writing him along with his many victims. The 1970s have always held a fascination for me, especially horror films from the ‘70s. I consider this book series my love letter to horror movies of that era and am so happy that others feel the same way.”
THE SLASHER UNIVERSE plunges into a world twisted by violence and includes a sinister cast of characters set against the turbulent backdrop of 1970s America, a decade drenched in sexual liberation and serial killers. Here, cultural upheaval, the Civil Rights Movement, and the dawn of a social revolution meet head-on with evil incarnate, creating a relentless march toward carnage and chaos.
Like Nunes’ award-winning indie horror film, ALL THROUGH THE HOUSE the books feature strong final girls and a gruesome killer that racks-up high body counts with gristly terror that jumps off the page. These interconnected novels can be enjoyed as standalone stories or as part of a running storyline, leading up to a triumphant and thrilling conclusion. The terror is relentless in a universe where not even your worst nightmares have prepared you for what’s around the next, dark corner.
