Blair's Reviews > Crybaby Bridge

Very quick read for a long train journey. This is a faux-true-crime oral history novel (one of my favourite niche things) about a small-town massacre in the early 2000s. A bunch of high schoolers set out to spend the night drinking and hooking up; then they hear a local urban legend, and quickly discover it is in fact very real. The setup is great, with lots of detail to establish the dynamic within the group, who’s lusting after who, etc. Unfortunately, it lost me a bit when it turned into flat-out gore in the second half. If that’s your thing, you’ll love it.
