The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix, 342 pages
The last one, the survivor: the Final Girl. What happens to the final would-be victim after the murderer is carted off or otherwise presumed dead? No one understands the life of a Final Girl except her fellow Final Girls.
Lynette Tarkington survived a massacre. For more than a decade she and a group of Final Girls meet because no one else can truly understand what it's like being a Final Girl. But when a new threat appears to be targeting Final Girls, the group is splintered, and Lynette is forced to survive her worst nightmares again.
This was a quick read that was lots of fun. The book is enjoyable on its own, but it takes on a new dynamic if you are familiar with old horror films and tropes. It was a lovely strange interlude in my regular reading schedule.
