The Final Girl Support Group

This was better than I thought it would be based on the silly title, but the cutesy tone was not for me.

I also don't understand the moralizing. If slasher movies were based on real life events, they would be gross movies. But slasher movies are very fictional. This book is not horror, but it certainly is meant to appeal to fans of horror. It's weird to me that a story would try to appeal to a fan group then preach to them about the wrongness of what they like while also fundamentally misrepresenting what they like.

Horror certainly has its issues, especially when it comes to the treatment of women. But one of those issues is not that Pamela Voorhees' pride and joy, her unstoppable killing machine of a son, who visits New York and outer space, and fights a telekinetic Carrie-knock off, is based on a real person.
