7. Hack/Slash

Slashers are just a recognizable part of the horror landscape now. But not everyone wants that to be the case. When a knife wielding psycho rises from the grave, it's gotta be someone's job to put them back underground.

Meet Cassie Hack and her partner Vlad. They’re Hack/Slash Inc., a team of two devoted to crossing the country and executing the executioners. Cassie is the daughter and only surviving victim of a slasher known as The Lunch Lady, whereas Vlad is a gentle giant born with a deformity that makes him hated and feared. Well, as gentle as you can get, being a dude who regularly stabs monsters to death with obscenely large knives.

The duo are inseparable, and it's that charmingly sweet, funny, sometimes tragic relationship that makes the book work so well.

The series has been over for some time, but if you're looking for a long marathon read for the rest of the month, this is the book to do it with.
