Book Review: “The Final Girl Support Group” by Grady Hendrix

The novel is a love letter to classic horror films while also exploring the impact that these traumatic events have on the women who survive them. Hendrix brings a clever and sharp sense of humor to the narrative, making it a unique take on both the horror and thriller genres. The story is fast-paced, with plenty of twists and turns to keep readers on edge, and the characters are wonderfully quirky and relatable despite the horrific nature of their pasts.

What stands out about The Final Girl Support Group is how Hendrix blends genre conventions with social commentary on trauma, survival, and how society views women who have been through extreme violence. It’s as thought provoking as it is fun, filled with pop culture references and a smart, engaging plot that keeps the reader hooked.

If you’re looking for a recent book that’s a fresh, fun take on horror with a lot of heart and a dash of dark humor, The Final Girl Support Group is a must read.

Rating: 4/5
