My new favorite slasher novel’ Stephen Graham Jones

A serial killer? She’s SO over it.

Barbra Jacobs is exhausted after twenty years playing the ‘final girl’, the only one that survives till the end of the movie. She’s sick of creepy guys at backwater horror conventions asking her to sign photos of her twenty-year-old self in underwear. She’s decided this is her last one.

She thinks her day can’t get any worse when she finds a woman with her throat slit in the bathroom. And now this deranged killer is stalking Barb and picking off her former castmates one by one . . .

She’s sick and tired of playing the victim. If she’s going to live, Barb must give the final-girl performance of her life.

Because this time, there’s no one coming to save her.

Nightmare on Elm Street meets Barbie in this iconic serial killer thriller – perfect for horror fans and scream queens alike.
