In horror films, the final girls are the ones who survive until the end credits. They have made it through the most terrifying night of their lives…but what happens next?
Similar to his popular book The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, Grady Hendrix’s new novel is a thrilling, fast-paced, and darkly funny thriller. The Final Girl Support Group highlights and cleverly twists our favorite horror movies - such as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Scream.
Lynnette Tarkington is a real final girl who lived through a massacre. For over ten years, she has been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for survivors, striving to rebuild their lives. However, when one woman misses a meeting, their worst fears come true - someone is aware of the group and is determined to destroy their lives once again, bit by bit.
Nevertheless, final girls never give up, no matter how tough the odds, how dark the night, or how sharp the blade.
