Willow’s worst nightmare was being canceled. But the shadows in the woods of Camp Castaway might destroy more than her reputation.
After sitcom star Willow tweets herself into infamy and stumbles blind-drunk into a swimming pool, her agent ships her off to Camp Castaway. Nestled deep in upstate New York, Castaway is a summer camp for adults who are desperate to leave their mistakes behind. No real names, no phones . . . no way to call for help.
Willow’s fellow campers seem okay. Her own favorite actress is even here, making a s’more. And did that jaded writer, Dani, just wink at her? But the peaceful vibe is shattered when one of the campers vanishes and Willow finds a mutilated doll in her room with a threatening message rolled up inside its mouth. Terror grips the group, campers begin to lose their heads—literally—and disturbing past deeds come to light.
Is Willow about to get cancelled all over again, this time for good?

Critic reviews
"Taking an axe to smart phones, celebrity, and cancel culture, Heads Will Roll is a slasher that is both bloody and uplifting. And fun! Every copy should come with a bucket of popcorn."—Gus Moreno, author of This Thing Between Us
“Beautifully written and impossible to put down.”—Fiona Cummins, bestselling author of All of Us are Broken
“Winning’s latest is a warm love letter to slasher flicks… [he] masterfully builds a story that will leave readers breathless.... The pacing is frenetic and captivating...Recommend to those who enjoyed My Heart Is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones, The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix, or Clown in a Cornfield by Adam Cesare.”—Library Journal

Most of the other characters are kind of the stock archetypes you’d find in slashers, but they do reveal more layers to them as the story goes on; except for really the first victim as he exits the story within 1-2 chapters. Keeping a majority of them as red herrings helps to make the mystery around who the killer is quite interesting & having the POV of the victims who meet their end in a certain chapter allows us to be part of their horrific demise. The deaths are fairly graphic, but still unsettling in its visceral brutality.
The urban legend in the vein of Cropsey from “The Burning” also lends a creepy undercurrent surrounding the future onslaught as it sets up our possible antagonist, Knock Knock Nancy. The lore about her is the classic ghost story about a revenant avenging their death, but when the true depths are uncovered it becomes a more realized horrible tragedy regarding her actual identity.
While I have a few minor gripes with how the relationship between our villains is portrayed, it possibly makes sense when considering how warped the perspective is. It doesn’t ruin the reveal & I like that there is some justice that will be served and our survivors are going to grow from what they’ve done.

"Willow" is the newest arrival to Camp Castaway. Castaway is a digital retreat for adults looking to disconnect from the world for a few weeks.
No TV, no phones, not even any music. Just nature and self reflection. This is the ideal place for Willow who's running from her very public identity.
Things quickly unravel though, as they always do in slashers because, as we know, "all summer camps are cursed"
This was brutally, fast, and fun. The characters were interesting while the story was everything we expect from a great slasher.
Fun slasher
