Friday The 13th: Church of The Divine Psychopath
by Scott Phillips
2005, Black Flame
Jason's crucified body is worshiped by a Branch Davidian style cult, who believes that Jason't crusade against premarital sex having teens makes him a source of divine judgment. They take up shop at Crystal Lake at the same time a secret military strike force moves in to hunt Jason. They shoot each other until Jason gets loose and hacks up the rest.
The book manages a good balance, being pulpy fun without resorting to corny postmodern winks to the reader. It also didn't get too obsessed with the "rules", like if Jason can regenerate or regrow limbs or needs to be stabbed by a special knife.
The book is absurdly expensive, but enjoy this DIY audiobook from the 80's Slasher Librarian.
Still have this book?
