Daphne by Josh Malerman
4.0

“Just because you’re paranoid, don’t mean they’re not after you”. Nirvana-Territorial Pissings
Kip is paranoid and by sinking the winning basket in the game, she may have also got an assist in her own death. Kip is sure of this because she asked the rim before her shot “Will Daphne kill me?” The rim is never wrong. She is convinced that she will die by Daphne’s hand and this is a major source of tension and anxiety in the book. The legend is that once you start thinking about Daphne, you become the focus of the killers attention.
Come on though, the stories can’t be true can they? but every town has its myths and legends. Just like Blackwood Vermont has the legend of Benny Rose, Samhattan Michigan has Daphne, a seven foot tall woman that kills with her bare hands.
Be careful of asking questions you don’t want the answer to, now everyone in town is thinking about Daphne
