The Final Girl Support Group
The Final Girl Support Group | Grady Grady Hendrix
29 posts | 34 read | 26 to read
In horror movies, the final girl is the one who's left standing when the credits roll. The one who fought back, defeated the killer, and avenged her friends. The one who emerges bloodied but victorious. But after the sirens fade and the audience moves on, what happens to her? Lynnette Tarkington is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre twenty-two years ago, and it has defined every day of her life since. And she's not alone. For decades she's been meeting with five other actual final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, putting their lives back together, piece by piece. That is until one of the women misses a meeting and Lynnette's worst fears are realised -- someone knows about the group and is determined to take their lives apart again, piece by piece. But the thing about these final girls is that they have each other now, and that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife...they will never, ever give up. '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 'The Final Girl Support Group is funny, scary, and a roaring good time. Grady Hendrix puts his own spin on final girls and I loved it.' -- Samantha Downing, USA Today bestselling author of My Lovely Wife 'Take slasher movie adoration, critique, and satire, mix with compelling, flawed characters and neck-breaking plot twists, and drop it all into an industrial blender with large blades. Voil, you now have Grady's maniacally clever and compulsively readable The Final Girl Support Group.' -- Paul Tremblay, national bestselling author of Survivor Song 'The Final Girl Support Group is a deft examination of how our culture's obsession with misogynistic violence destroys the lives of women and how those women are able to keep fighting and living after unthinkable trauma. The beating heart of this book is empathy and it's set into a lightning-paced, vicious thriller. Reading it was a catharsis. Absolutely unmissable. Horror fans...you've never read a slasher like this.' -- Mallory O'Meara, national bestselling author of The Lady from the Black Lagoon 'With The Final Girl Support Group Grady Hendrix transforms a horror trope into something bloody original. An incisive examination of society's obsession with violence against women that simultaneously honors and roasts the slasher genre with equal prowess. Wildly entertaining and clever as hell.' -- Rachel Harrison, author of The Return '....a wonderfully suspenseful and darkly comic novel that cleverly subverts popular culture. Horror fans will be wowed. -- Publisher's Weekly

I‘ve seen that a lot of people dislike this book and I understand why. But here‘s the thing: part of the appeal of a horror film is to share in the helplessness of the characters. Therein lies the cleverness of this novel. If you are the type who needs your MC to be relatable and infallible then this book is not for you. If you‘re the type who loves the horror films Hendrix borrows so heavily from then I think you will enjoy it as much as I did.

After having to cancel our event with him last year due to Covid, finally got the honor of hosting Grady Hendrix. Do yourself a favor and find out when he‘ll be in your town. He‘s so much fun!

A fantastic, suspenseful novel of the lives of a “final girl”, a woman who was the final survivor of a slasher-esk attack.
Great as a light horror, mystery read.

I was a bit nervous as I had never read Grady Hendrix before, but boy am I glad I picked this one up! It totally read like a thriller movie and I loved every minute of it. Half way in I thought I knew who it was...man was I wrong. I never saw this ending coming.

Libby1 I loved his book Horrorstör. 3y

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews on this one but I liked it. This isn't your slasher, this is the story AFTER the slasher. What happens to the Final Girls when their story is over? I highly recommend the physical copy here; there are some fun extras in between the chapters that add a little extra enjoyment to the book. If you're a fan of the '80's slasher, I think you'll enjoy this one 🗡🗡

I am definitely the target audience for this one so I enjoyed it despite some obvious lapses in the MC‘s character. It was a quick, fun, power to the sisterhood kind of read.

Over-the-top humor/horror with an abundance of slasher movie Easter Eggs. I read this one in close proximity to Stephen Graham Jones‘ My Heart is a Chainsaw and liked that one better. But, if ur a slasher fan, you‘ll like them both. #ARC #Edelweiss

Haul from one of the Half Price Books near me. Super excited for the Grady Hendrix. Though I have to say, my biggest pet peeve with some stores is the stickers they put on the covers. I hate the residue and in some cases it can just ruin the cover.

Anyways excited for this haul ☺️

Tera66 I hate the stickers too, I get them off sometimes by wetting them, then use Goo Gone to remove the residue. 3y

I knew it was a long shot, but I was really hoping The Final Girl Support Group would have been at least an add-on for #BOTM .
This month‘s main picks did nothing for me, so I #skipped
What did you all pick this month?

TEArificbooks I was hoping for the new Grady Hendrix too but they have never picked his so I doubted it would be picked. 3y
Avanders I would‘ve picked that too! 3y
marleed I‘ve been reading good reviews for Razorblade Tears so I went with that one. 3y
rather_be_reading totally forgot to stalk the website today. thanku! 3y
