Final Girls by Riley Sagar.
This one barely makes the list because while I really enjoyed it, it’s hard to consider it a true “horror” book. However the quality of it was enough (and it’s won or been nominated for enough awards in the horror category) that I feel it’s worth listing here. It felt more in the thriller genre to me.
it all starts a decade ago when the main character, Quincy Carpenter, takes a break from college and goes on vacation with her friends. Unfortunately she is the only one who returns from this vacation due to a massacre you’d see in a traditional horror movie. She finds out that she isn’t alone however – there’s a group known as the “Final Girls” who have seen a similar situation occur – a mass murder where they are the only survivor.
Fast forward a decade and Quincy is actually enjoying her life. She’s got a steady relationship, a great apartment and just in general enjoying life. Until she finds out that one of the “Final Girls” is found dead. Then another of the “Final Girls” appears on her doorstep and things aren’t what they seem.
Unlike some horror books where I have to put them down at times due to how scary or chilling they are – this was one that I easily blew threw in a day and was glued to it. Not one to start reading late at night
