Horror-film knowledge meets a boarding-school murder mystery

At a remote island boarding school, Charley Ryan’s expertise in horror films becomes a liability when members of the senior class are murdered in ways that echo the movies she loves. With ghosts of former classmates appearing and suspicion falling on her, Charley works to clear her name and identify the killer, aided by her cinephile friend Olive. The premise brings slasher-film references, a confined school setting, and a supernatural element into the same mystery, making horror cinema part of both the danger and the investigation.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in horror fiction.
  • Readers who enjoy slasher-movie references, ghostly elements, and murder mysteries.

Book overview

Horror movie buff Charley Ryan isn't expecting much when she's enrolled at a girls' boarding school on a remote island. That is, until someone starts killing off the senior class. From elaborate scare tactics to severed heads in fridges, these gruesome murders are straight out of Charley's favorite films. To top it off, she's also seeing the ghosts of her former classmates.

No one's surprised when Charley's taste in movies makes her the prime suspect. Determined to clear her name, she sets out to find the killer before her campus becomes more graveyard than school. She's equipped only with her encyclopedic knowledge of horror cinema and the help of her trusty cinephile best friend, Olive--oh, and those pesky ghosts, if they can shut up long enough to lend a helping hand.

With a plot twist sure to make you SCREAM, this is an addictive love letter of a slasher that will keep you guessing until the very last page.
