Fried Green Tomatoes and Steel Magnolias meet Dracula in this horror novel set in 1990s suburban Charleston
Patricia Campbell's life has never felt smaller. Her ambitious husband is too busy to kiss her good-bye in the morning, her kids are wrapped up in their own lives, and she's always a step behind on thank-you notes and endless chores. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime and suspenseful fiction.
This predictable pattern is upended when Patricia is viciously attacked by an elderly neighbor, bringing the neighbor's handsome relative, James Harris, into her life. Sensitive and well-read, James makes Patricia feel things she hasn't felt in twenty years. But there's something...off...and then Patricia's senile mother-in-law insists she knew him back when she was a girl.
When local children go missing, Patricia has reason to believe that James...

About the Author
Grady Hendrix is a celebrated American author known for his unique blend of horror and humor. Born in 1975 in Charleston, South Carolina, Hendrix’s career began in the world of screenwriting before transitioning to novels. His work often delves into the bizarre and the supernatural, with a knack for satirical commentary on societal norms.
Hendrix's debut novel, Horrorstör (2014), instantly captured the attention of horror fans. Set in a haunted IKEA-inspired furniture store, the book’s success marked him as a fresh voice in horror literature. His follow-up, My Best Friend’s Exorcism (2016), continued to blend horror with dark comedy, earning widespread praise for its nostalgic 1980s setting and its emotional depth.
Perhaps his most notable work, The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires (2020), cemented Hendrix's reputation as a master of modern horror. It explores the lives of a book club in the South who must confront a vampire in their midst. Hendrix’s use of Southern Gothic elements and sharp social commentary has made him a favorite among readers and critics alike.
Hendrix’s writing is marked by its wit, creativity, and ability to evoke fear through humor, making him one of the most innovative voices in contemporary horror literature. His works are a must-read for fans of genre-bending narratives with a strong sense of place and character.
