Summary
Insane innkeepers, cannibalistic cooks: The staff of the Brant Hotel would like to meet you!
Massive nights, picturesque days: There is nothing Claire doesn't love about her summer job in Mission, Massachusetts. Claire is just trying to keep her head down and start a new life after burning out in the city, but those kids out in the woods seem like they throw awesome ragers....
It's only once she's in too deep that Claire discovers the real tourist trade that keeps the town afloat. It's then that her soul-searching in Mission becomes a fight for her life.
Crazed parties, dark rituals, and unexpected betrayals abound in this modern folk horror novel from the author of The Con Season and Video Night.
Critic reviews
"The prologue of The Summer Job is one the best and scariest openings to a horror novel I've ever read.... The rest of the novel is equally great." (LitReactor)
"Cesare's latest is a knockout.... There's a potent retro vibe running through Cesare's work, in general - he's the closest thing literary horror has to its own Jim Mickle or Ti West." (Complex)
"The textbook definition of a nail-biter. The Summer Job is a kissing cousin to inbred classics from masters like Ketchum and Kilborn. Cesare's best novel yet." (Bloody Disgusting)

Good book
Really great narrator with good characters and an eerie back drop about it , I thoroughly enjoyed this book , it as a touch of the wicker manesque about it . I was surprised by the ending which I never saw coming . I recommend this to anyone who likes these types of stories.

Typical Cesare – horrifying, gory, fast and fun!
‘The Summer Job’ is one of Adam Cesare’s early works (it was published in 2014). Comparing it to his later books it is apparent that Adam has definitely matured as a writer and has improved his craft. Nevertheless, this book has all the ingredients that become fully developed in his later novels – namely, an interesting, likeable and three-dimensional protagonist who you root for, a variety of vivid and quirky supporting characters, gory set pieces, a breath-taking pace that is maintained throughout the story, mounting tension and suspense, and a sly sense of humour. As in all Adam’s books, his passion for the horror genre shines through.
Unfortunately, ‘The Summer Job’ suffers by not convincingly addressing the problematic issue confronted by all horror fiction – namely, why don’t the good guys and/or gals just run away from the horrifying situation when they have the opportunities to do so. But I guess if they did then we wouldn’t have a story.
As for the narration of this audiobook, it never once pulled me out of the story, so I give it 5 stars.
In summary, I recommend this book to all horror fans. At the moment the horror fiction market is saturated with writing of sub-par quality, so it is great to find an author as talented as Adam. I am so pleased he is finally getting the attention and exposure he deserves. Thank you Adam, you rock!
