You won't find a more hardcore horror fan than high school senior Jade Daniels. And you won't find a place less supportive of girls who wear torn T-shirts and too much eyeliner than Proofrock, nestled eight thousand feet up the mountain in Idaho, right alongside Indian Lake, home to both Camp Blood--site of a massacre fifty years ago--and, as of this summer, Terra Nova, a second-home celebrity Camelot being carved out of the national forest.

​

That's not the only thing that's getting carved up though--this, Jade knows, is the start of a slasher. But what kind? Who's wearing the mask? Jade's got an encyclopedic recall of every horror movie on the shelf, but...will that help her survive? Can she get a final girl trained enough to stop all this from happening? Does she even want to?

​

Isn't a slasher exactly what her hometown deserves?

​

This novel explores the changing landscape of the West through Stephen Graham Jones's distinct voice of sharp humor and prophetic violence.
