<\/figure>\nThe Final Girl Support Group<\/a> <\/em>by Grady Hendrix<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n Lynette 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<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\nThe Book Eaters<\/a> <\/em>by Sunyi Dean<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOut on the Yorkshire Moors lives a secret line of people for whom books are food, and who retain all of a book’s content after eating it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Devon is part of The Family, an old and reclusive clan of book eaters. Her brothers grow up feasting on stories of valor and adventure, and Devon-like all other book eater women-is raised on a carefully curated diet of fairytales and cautionary stories. But real life doesn’t always come with happy endings, as Devon learns when her son is born with a rare and darker kind of hunger-not for books, but for human minds<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\nThe House Across The Lake <\/a><\/em>by Riley Sager<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nCasey Fletcher, a recently widowed actress trying to escape a streak of bad press, has retreated to the peace and quiet of her family’s lake house in Vermont. Armed with a pair of binoculars and several bottles of bourbon, she passes the time watching Tom and Katherine Royce, the glamorous couple living in the house across the lake. They make for good viewing–a tech innovator, Tom is powerful; and a former model, Katherine is gorgeous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One day on the lake, Casey saves Katherine from drowning, and the two strike up a budding friendship. But the more they get to know each other–and the longer Casey watches–it becomes clear that Katherine and Tom’s marriage isn’t as perfect as it appears. When Katherine suddenly vanishes, Casey immediately suspects Tom of foul play. What she doesn’t realize is that there’s more to the story than meets the eye–and that shocking secrets can lurk beneath the most placid of surfaces.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
