Grady Hendrix's latest was really good. Set in 2010, it focuses on a group of "final girls", the last girl left standing after a massacre. Apparently all the slasher films of the 1980s were based on real life events (think "Friday the 13th" and "Halloween" and "Nightmare on Elm Street".). Lynette is one of those girls, and she's paranoid to the millionth degree. She only leaves her apartment to go to the support group and when she goes home it takes her hours because she makes endless, random loops to make sure no one is following her. Andrienne, the final girl from Camp Red Lake, is murdered and it sends Lynette into hyper-paranoid overdrive, convinced someone is out to murder the whole group.
She's actually not wrong. One by one the final girls are targeted and Lynette is desperately trying to keep herself safe while trying to figure out who is after them. There were a lot of really good twists and turns, it was good fun.
