Book: Friday the 13th Part 3
Author: Michael Avallone
Released: 1982
Published to coincide with the release of the film of the same name, Friday the 13th Part 3 tells the story of Jason Vorhees returning to Crystal Lake following the end of Part 2 when he was hacked in his neck/shoulder with a machete.
After taking time in a nearby barn to recover from his injury, our hero Jason makes his way back to the lake going on an awesome killing spree, taking down idiot bikers and annoying young people with reckless abandon.
Eventually though, Jason's downfall comes in the form of an axe attack to his head. But will he find a way to return for another adventure?
This is one of two novelisations of the classic third film in the series, the other by Simon Hawke. For me, this is the better of the two, going into more detail of Jason's brutal killings and set at a more frenetic pace. It also contains scenes not included in the film.
A must for book fans everywhere.
Rating: 4/5
