The Final Girl Support Group

How it reads

The Final Girl Support Group is horror (meta slasher horror, specifically), and its dominant mood is eerie. It's atmospheric and uncanny, with a sense that something is wrong. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.

It's set in a big city setting, in the present day, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are friendship, survival and secrets. In weight it sits in the middle: substantial without being heavy going.

It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. At 352 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's well known, the kind of book most keen readers have heard of.
