“... a gore-filled throwback to the classic teen slasher flick genre ... Graphically detailed descriptions make it clear that this work of horror isn't for the faint of heart.” ~Publishers Weekly
"... a Must Read for Classic Horror Fans ... an expertly paced, cinematic slasher in a setting that would make Agatha Christie proud. Inevitable and shocking. Brutal and beautiful. Homage and originality. Comedy and Tragedy. Thommy Hutson could easily take on the mantle as the next Lois Duncan...” ~Waylon Jordan, iHorror.com
“Jinxed is the teen whodunit that Wes Craven and Lois Duncan never made. Hutson has created the best new slasher franchise since Scream.” ~Peter M. Bracke, Author of Crystal Lake Memories: The Complete History of Friday the 13th
"A dark, tension-filled thriller that’s wicked to the very end. Bad luck was never so much fun!" ~Jeffrey Reddick, Creator of Final Destination
