Ebook About THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER“The horror master…puts his unique spin on slasher movie tropes.”-USA TodayA can't-miss summer read, selected by The New York Times, Oprah Daily, Time, USA Today, The Philadelphia Inquirer, CNN, LitHub, BookRiot, Bustle, Popsugar and the New York Public LibraryIn horror movies, the final girls are the ones left standing when the credits roll. They made it through the worst night of their lives…but what happens after? Like his bestselling novel The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, Grady Hendrix’s latest is a fast-paced, frightening, and wickedly humorous thriller. From chain saws to summer camp slayers, The Final Girl Support Group pays tribute to and slyly subverts our most popular horror films—movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Scream. Lynnette Tarkington is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized—someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece. But the thing about final girls is that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.Book The Final Girl Support Group Review :
I want to avoid spoilers, which is hard to do while discussing the numerous issues with this book. I will say it's well-written and at least kept me reading to the end. I will ALSO say: this book is not a slasher. Instead, it is a bait and switch tactic to lure people who love that kind of material into a lecture on violence against women and guns. This was one of my MOST anticipated books of the year. I read it in 2 days waiting for the "slashing" to start and it never did. Very disappointed, as I'm sure many slasher fans will be. I did not buy the book to be preached to, or have a genre of films that I love deconstructed to the point of trying to guilt the reader into feeling bad about enjoying them. Slasher fans beware! I was really excited to read this after reading all of Hendrix's other books (minus we sold our souls). He hasn't quite captured the magic of My Best Friend's Exorcism again, but he came close with Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires. The Final Girl Support Group has such a great premise, but unravels fairly quickly after the first 10 chapters, then picks back up in the final 5 or so.As a black person that reads some white horror authors, I'm really over them always killing us off. Or, we exist to make white characters feel better about themselves or "champion" them. *Spoilers Ahead* What sparks the whole plot of the book is the (only) black final girl being murdered. She is described as having lived a successful life, was kind, strong, and built a retreat/camp for other survivors. Buuuuut....she's the one who easily dies, when there's an unstable woman battling drug addiction in the group? Oh okay. There's also an extremely racist description of her when the protagonist is explaining how killers are particular about what they like, using a starbucks analogy: "Black nonfat camp counselor with a high threshold for pain and an extra shot". Black people having a high threshold for pain/feeling less pain than others is a racist idea that's STILL believed that started from chattel slavery. It affects us in various ways, and even causes our death in medical settings. It was an excuse used to whip, beat, and experiment on us. Now, if hendrix meant this as commentary aka making the monster's more monstery by way of their racism, then he did a HORRIFIC job of alluding to it. Not to mention in the next sentence he stereotyped the lesbian character as masculine/butchy and spunky. I won't speak for the LGBT community on that front, but it seemed that she was just a copy of what the media tells us lesbians are like: Home Depot obsessed homesteading cowgirl types. The black character is imagined in ghost form to help the protagonist push forward towards the end, and I almost slapped the book closed.Speaking of the protagonist, I liked that she was difficult to like and root for. It was a very different approach, and it felt like she had a real, multifaceted persona. I wished we got to know the other women in the group a bit more, and they disappear for far too long when the middle of the book begins; they were VERY underutilized.This book could've been about 60-80 pages shorter than what it was. If a character is going to an apartment, we get every little step on the way to said apartment. Opening the door, walking down the driveway, getting in the car, driving down the road, the conversation on the way, how many stoplights there are, when they pull up to the curb of the apartment etc. It would've been nice to have a chapter just end and bam the next chapter starts off with the characters where they need to be.As always, I enjoyed the "extras" in the book. Case files, newspaper articles, and other thoughtful things that made you think. I came away from this book thinking a lot about violence in our society and how obsessed we are with it, i.e. collecting murder memorabilia, and the strange new phenomenon of women on youtube doing their make up while talking about how a family was butchered. We love violence against women in particular, and we couldn't get enough of slasher flicks at one point.The twist was very good, and I didn't see it coming. Overall, I loved the way he created this world of what it'd really be like to be the final girl from these movies, all grown up. He pulls heavily from the slasher movies, and finds ways to inject some new humor into the stories.It's a slog to get to that twist, though. I found myself skipping a page or two here and there, and this is the first time one of his books has suffered a sagging middle (in my opinion). At times it's disjointed, and so many unnecessary things happen that don't add much to the story.All in all, it is a decent book. Not his best, but I would place it above Horrorstor, but below Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires.
