Publisher's Summary
Insane innkeepers, cannibalistic cooks: The staff of the Brant Hotel would like to meet you!
Massive nights, picturesque days: There is nothing Claire doesn't love about her summer job in Mission, Massachusetts. Claire is just trying to keep her head down and start a new life after burning out in the city, but those kids out in the woods seem like they throw awesome ragers....
It's only once she's in too deep that Claire discovers the real tourist trade that keeps the town afloat. It's then that her soul-searching in Mission becomes a fight for her life.
Crazed parties, dark rituals, and unexpected betrayals abound in this modern folk horror novel from the author of The Con Season and Video Night.
Critic Reviews
"The prologue of The Summer Job is one the best and scariest openings to a horror novel I've ever read.... The rest of the novel is equally great." (LitReactor)
"Cesare's latest is a knockout.... There's a potent retro vibe running through Cesare's work, in general - he's the closest thing literary horror has to its own Jim Mickle or Ti West." (Complex)
"The textbook definition of a nail-biter. The Summer Job is a kissing cousin to inbred classics from masters like Ketchum and Kilborn. Cesare's best novel yet." (Bloody Disgusting)

Pointless
The narrator did a good job but this was such a disappointment & found the story pointless. It was not scary & even suspenseful. We never get the full story of why Brant & Davy are at conflict, without this I found the story lacking a massive part of the information that would have made this more engaging. Most of the actions in the story seem pointless, they are never given a real reason as to why they have occurred. Towards the end Claire starts 'speaking' with her teenage self 'Silverfish'. This came out of no where & made no sense at all. This would have been better added right from the start or left out completely. Even the story line of Alison seemed disjointed & served no purpose. I stopped & started listening to this so many times & took so long to finish even though its only 7hrs as at no point did this ever grab me & want to finish it.
**SPOILER**
What was the point having the Claire as the protagonist only to be killed off at the end. This seemed like such a cheap ploy of a 'twist'.
