The Final Girl Support Group by Grady Hendrix

challenging dark tense medium-paced

• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? No

• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

Do you enjoy campy horror movies like Final Destination? Then The Final Girl Support Group is for you! It’s one half sociological analysis of feminism, murder, psychopathy, sociopathy, and dangerous obsession, and the other half is a campy murder novel. Definitely one of Grady Hendrix’s best novels.
