The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre

Dark, horrific, gripping, and dripping with blood! Philip Fracassi delivered the thrills and chills in the The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre! This book was bloody good, and I had a hard time putting this killer of a book down! From the very beginning, I was absorbed in this book, and the bodies began to pile up and my list of suspects began to dwindle.

Rose DuBois may be in her late 70’s, but she will not go down without a fight! As poet Dylan Thomas wrote she will not “not go gentle into that good night.” Rose proves that she is an ultimate final girl when her friends begin to die! She isn’t initially concerned when a fellow resident is found dead. They are in a retirement home and getting up there in years but when another resident dies, Rose just can’t shake the fact that something isn’t quite right. Will her concerns be taken seriously or will she be viewed as a senile old woman who isn’t willing to face the fact that accident happen????

This book was a hoot! It has some humor mixed in with the horrific and violent murders. This is not for the faint of heart – it is a horror novel after all. This book is reminiscent of the slasher films of the 80’s. Someone is in the retirement home and is ready to slice and dice them if you will. But Rose is on the case. She wants to know who the killer is and why they are taking out the residents of the Autumn Springs Retirement Home!

I had a good time reading this book! It is bloody good, dark, horrific, and entertaining! If you can stomach it, this is a worthwhile read. I enjoyed the mounting tension, danger, dread, and mystery surrounding the identity of the killer!

*I had both the book and the audiobook which made for a fully enjoyable read! The narration of the audiobook was very well done!
