| Summary: | There's a reason CJ Smith's hometown of Satterville is known as Slasherville: it was the site of not one, but two Friday the 13th-style massacres. CJ's dad survived the first attack; only CJ survived the second. And thanks to the mysterious writer Moon Satter's bestselling novels based on the events, the town-and CJ-will always be defined by this horrific past. Then a new, unpublished Moon Satter manuscript shows up addressed to CJ. But unlike the others, this story isn't about the past. Instead, it predicts new murders. On the day the book says the first murder will occur, CJ sets out to stop it. But in saving one classmate, the final girl ends up dead. CJ and their friends have suddenly gone from extras to leads-and they'll have to use everything they know about the rules of horror to make it out alive. |
