In her quickly gentrifying rural lake town Jade sees recent events only her encyclopedic knowledge of horror films could have prepared her for in this latest novel from the Jordan Peele of horror literature, New York Times bestselling author Stephen Graham Jones. No matter what medium a creator uses, the secret to good horror is tension. The best horror movies and books make us squirm in our seats when we know — or think we know — something bad is about to happen. Will the killer be standing behind the final girl when she closes the medicine cabinet, or is he still lurking behind the shower curtain? Since we all know the final girl survives, which of her friends will be the next to die — the funny guy who went out to grab more beer from the garage, or the bestie taking sexy photos in the upstairs bedroom? If you want a horror read that will make you ask all these questions and more, check out the best slasher novels below.
