I read The Only Good Indians and The Buffalo Hunter Hunter this week. The former is a very good example of a book that's not bad but is very much not my cup of tea, I can see how a person who is very into slasher movies would enjoy it. The chase scene at the end probably was suspenseful enough that almost cut through my apathy toward the genre. The Buffalo Hunter Hunter on the other hand I enjoyed quite a lot.
I finished J.S. Bailey's Dalton Kane and the Greens, which was okay.
Then read the second in Dinniman's "Dungeon Crawler Carl" series, Carl's Doomsday Scenario. Awesome book, loads of fun. An example of exactly how easily you can forget the book's title while you are reading it.

I finished Hailey Piper’s All The Hearts You Eat, and it remained amazing throughout. It won’t be for everyone, but it does its thing so very well. In particular, without ever compromising her anger at the perpetrators of cruel injustice, Piper didn’t make her antagonists into cartoons. They have reasons, which they’ve thought about as much as the protagonists have thought about theirs. It’s a remarkable achievement.
I'm not into slasher movies, but I loved the heck out of The Only Good Indians. I wouldn't argue hard with someone saying The Buffalo Hunter Hunter is a better novel, though. Since you seem to be on a bit of a Stephen Graham Jones kick, I'm going to suggest that you probably don't want to read I Was a Teenage Slasher, though I thought that was a neat sendup of slasher movie tropes--and a certain type of cheesy-metal fan; better than Grady Hendrix's The Final Girl Support Group and We Sold Our Souls combined.
