About This Book

"It does not go light on the gore!" -Stephen Graham Jones, NYT Bestselling Author of My Heart is a Chainsaw, I Was a Teenage Slasher, and Don't Fear the Reaper

A senior year goodbye morphs into carnival carnage …

Everyone at Pritchett High wants an invitation to the Senior Scavenge, and this year, Violet Warren and her friends are the lucky ones. Eight girls will break into the Poison Apple Carnival after hours for a scavenger hunt, a school tradition to welcome the best and brightest into their senior year. 

But warm welcomes turn into gory goodbyes as those hunting become the hunted. One by one, Violet's friends are viciously murdered by a mysterious masked figure running loose through the carnival grounds.

Can Violet survive this roller coaster ride from hell and unmask the killer in time?

Or will her head end up on a cotton candy pike?

Heathers meets Fear Street in this sickly-sweet, hilariously over the top slasher novel with a killer unmasking you won't see coming.

For fans of:

• Adam Cesare's Clown in a Cornfield
• Unhinged masked killers
• Old school horror movies
• Fierce final girls
• Gruesome rising body counts
• Outrageous kills
