Pillowface by Kristopher Rufty

Twelve-year-old Joel Olsen loves all things devoted to horror: Movies, comics, books, and of course his true passion, special effects. Being raised by his older sister Haley after the sudden death of their parents, Joel is in a world truly of his own. But at the launch of summer vacation Joel finds lying bloodied and near death in his backyard, a masked man that is the epitome of what he adores. A flesh and blood slasher maniac! When he invites the masked man into his home to recover from his wounds an unexpected friendship is born, but Joel quickly realizes he’s actually become involved in a true to life horror tale that he’ll be lucky to survive. This maniac known as Pillowface is not only an uncontrollable killing machine, but he also has others searching for him, and they will go to great and bloody lengths to find him. “Pillowface is the best book I have read in a long time!” —Hunter Shea, author of Forest of Shadows and Evil Eternal “A powerhouse debut novel.
