Read the full take

Shotgun Boy is a tense, gory survival thriller with a premise that grabs you immediately. A bullied student runs for his life in the woods and stumbles upon a shotgun and a handful of shells, which is a recipe for disaster. When he returns, his classmates are under attack by brain-eating creatures, and the only thing standing between them and a ravenous feast is the boy with the gun. The lead's underdog arc is satisfying, and the action is brisk and cinematic. The tension builds quickly and keeps the pages turning. The honest cons: the gore and violence are intense, which will be too much for some readers, and the cast is thin beyond the lead, so the supporting classmates can blur together. The story leans heavily on shock moments. Still, it is a fast, gripping read for fans of survival horror. If you enjoy underdogs with a gun and a grudge, this is worth a look.
