A horror sequel turns its own rules into a trap

Charley Ryan already knows the logic of horror sequels: a killer thought dead may return. But when a car breakdown strands her and her mother in a Scottish town marked by witch-trial history, familiar genre rules meet an occult threat. Missing townspeople, ghosts, a local coven, and the hazards of high school shape the story, while Charley’s instinct to work alone is tested by new connections. The book’s horror-comedy premise also plays with sequel conventions, including the ominous basement and the suspiciously perfect popular crowd.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Teens and young adults interested in horror fiction
  • Readers who enjoy horror-comedy and stories that play with horror-film conventions
  • Fans of supernatural plots involving ghosts, witches, and witch-trial history

Book overview

Final girl Charley faces off against the occult in this absolutely killer horror-comedy sequel, perfect for fans of How to Hang a Witch, the Scream franchise, and The Blair Witch Project.

Charley Ryan and her mom are on the run and have been since the Harrogate Killer died after trying to add Charley to their body count a year ago. Paranoid? Maybe, but Charley's seen enough horror sequels to know the killer isn't dead, yet.

Her plans are thwarted, though, when their car breaks down, leaving Charley and her mother trapped in a quiet Scottish town ominously nicknamed "The Devil's Punchbowl," filled with disturbing landscapes, unsettling inhabitants, and a bloody history of witch trials.

Burned by last year's betrayal, Charley tries her best to remain a lone wolf when she starts at the local high school, though, the lure of a fellow classmate makes her question even her best horror instincts. As townspeople begin to go missing in the lead up to Halloween and silenced ghosts vie for her attention, Charley and her new friends set out to defeat the local coven of dark witches.

From avoiding the creepy basement to remaining wary of the disturbingly perfect popular kids, How to Survive a Horror Sequel lovingly highlights and subvert classic horror sequel tropes, crafting a book as bone-chilling as it is hilarious.
