Welcome to another episode of It's Lit(erature)!

We are a (chaotic) book club podcast & we welcome all to our weird family!

So come join us for a very casual book discussion!

This week we are discussing the horror novel: The Final Girl Support Group By: Grady Hendrix

This book centers on the 'final girl' trope, as well as the girls themselves, from classic horror movies. The "final girl" in stories is defined as the last girl(s) or woman alive to confront the killer, ostensibly the one left to tell the story. This book revolves around many different "final girls" and how they are currently living their life. They all attend a support group with one another, but then something happens. They are all once again targets. It even seems as if each of their personal monsters have come back to finish them off. Will our heroine, Lynette, a not so final girl be able to solve the mystery and save the only family she has left?

This book draws from many famous references. There are final girls that are direct references to Scream, Halloween, Friday the 13th, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and more. If you are a horror movie fan this just might be the book for you! This is the first book the two of us are almost evenly split on, so that's also really exciting for an episode! Basically: one of us likes this book and one of us hates this book..you should listen to hear all the juicy details! As always, we don't go heavily into too many details but you still get a gist of the story. 

*As with all of our episodes: spoiler warning for the book!*

As always, thanks so much for listening!
