Review Quote* | Praise for Grady Hendrix and The Final Girl Support Group "The Final Girl Support Group sizzles with action, originality, and a gleaming concept sharp as a scalpel."-Charlaine Harris, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Pray for morning, wish for speed, and be as quiet as you can, it doesn't matter-Grady Hendrix's The Final Girl Support Group already knows where you live and breathe."-Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Only Good Indians "A great read…[Hendrix] excels at writing horror humor… His characters are funny and real, though at least one will definitely lose a limb at some point…Though the final girls' plight has all the scares of great horror fiction, there is an element of truth in their situation that will be recognizable to anyone who has experienced real trauma."–The New York Times "Equal parts thrilling and darkly funny."-Time "A savvy summer slasher … continues his winning run of meta horror novels…a wickedly entertaining page-turner." –USA Today "It's not necessary to be a fan of slasher movies to enjoy this very clever, gleefully violent, self-aware deconstruction of the genre."-The Guardian "Grady Hendrix has demonstrated a remarkable facility for suspense…With his latest work, The Final Girl Support Group, he's turned that talent into a nearly book-length workout, an exercise in go-go acceleration that steps on the gas soon after it begins and doesn't stop until the final pages."–The A.V. Club "Grady Hendrix's canny new novel, The Final Girl Support Group, gathers all the tropes and iconography of a decade's worth of slasher movies, throws them into a blender with much more wit and intelligence than any of those movies displayed, in a truly original, compelling, suspenseful tour de force… with a knowing wink. Hendrix has a rare, unique voice in a genre sorely in need of more!"-Mick Garris, writer and director (The Stand, Bag of Bones, The Shining miniseries) "A crazy emotional roller coaster ride that took me right back to 1980, but it needs a warning label: may cause severe anxiety, suggest reading with CBD and a glass of wine."-Adrienne King, actress, artist, and Friday the 13th's first Final Girl |
