There’s nothing quite like an 80s slasher flick. From classics like the Halloween and Friday the 13th franchises to niche titles like The Slumber Party Massacre, these films are famous for their laughable special effects, over-the-top sound design and classic villains.If you’ve been searching for a book that has murder, mystery and a delicious 1980s vibe, look no further than The Babysitter by Nancy Bush. A serial killer is afoot, and he’s targeting babysitters. He struck when Jamie was in high school and now, twenty years later, he’s back. Or is he? You’ll have to read to find out.
