WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

In a small Midwestern town, sixteen-year-old John Wayne Cleaver (Records) has clear sociopathic tendencies, including a morbid fascination with death and murder, but manages to mostly keep them in check in order to fit in as best as he can. However, when a supernatural being threatens those around him, he must give in to his inner demons to defeat it…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Based on the pulpy cult novel, I Am Not A Serial Killer presents an entirely different kind of hero, one that you might not be rooting for by the end of the story.
