And honestly, you can’t help but smile at the sheer enjoyment the story brings * Scream magazine * Winning utilises the best jump-scare slasher tropes to create a thrilling and fun classic horror story with a modern touch * Culture Fly * I really enjoyed the way Heads Will Roll plays with all the horror/slasher tropes, while also taking aim at the pitfalls of social media and cancel culture. A whole lot of bloody fun with a serious message at its heart -- CJ Tudor Beautifully written and impossible to put down -- Fiona Cummins, bestselling author of All of Us Are Broken I enjoyed Heads Will Roll, with its compelling, complex characters and inventiveness in how it engaged politically with its horrors -- Paul Tremblay, author of Horror Movie This book is incredible! A gripping slice of 80s-inspired horror with a rattling good plot, terrific characters and zingy dialogue, and with something important to say about the world today. I can’t recommend Heads Will Roll enough. -- William Hussey, award-winning author of Killing Jericho Between the frequent jump scares and blood spillage, Winning’s story is packed with an awful lot of heart.
