The Last Final Girl is like Quentin Tarantino's take on The Cabin in the Woods. Bloody, absurd, and smart. Plus, there's a killer in a Michael Jackson mask." (Carlton Mellick III, author of Apeshit)Life in a slasher film is easy. You just have to know when to die. Aerial View: A suburban town in Texas. Everyone's got an automatic garage door opener. All the kids jump off a perilous cliff into a shallow river as a rite of passage. The sheriff is a local celebrity. You know this town. You're from this town. Zoom In: Homecoming princess, Lindsay. She's just barely escaped death at the hands of a brutal, sadistic murderer in a Michael Jackson mask. Up on the cliff, she was rescued by a horse and bravely defeated the killer, alone, bra-less. Her story is already a legend. She's this town's heroic final girl, their virgin angel. Monster Vision: Halloween masks floating down that same river the kids jump into. But just as one slaughter is not enough for Billie Jean, our masked killer, one victory is not enough for Lindsay. Her high school is full of final girls, and she's not the only one who knows the rules of the game. When Lindsay chooses a host of virgins, misfits, and former final girls to replace the slaughtered members of her original homecoming court, it's not just a fight for survival - it's a fight to become The Last Final Girl.… (altro)

Solid 4 stars. I enjoyed this a lot!
I got confused from time to time with what was going on, but I loved the way it was told, and finding all of the hidden (or not so hidden) call outs to movies/music. I really liked every minute of this! ( )

It was boring and going nowhwere. The format/writing style was odd. Only got 105 pages in and couldn't take it anymore.

A very bizarre tribute to slasher classics that was a little hard to follow at times, and especially with teen girls it was obvious they had been written by a man. ( )

I picked up this book after reading Paul Tremblay (author of A Head Full of Ghosts) talk about its slight influence on that novel. I guess I should have done more research on The Last Final Girl before purchasing it because I abandoned it after a chapter and a half based solely on the format.

The book reads like a movie script converted to a very loose version of a novel with the barest of description and prose connecting each “shot” to the dialogue.

Coming at it expecting a novel, I just couldn’t lose myself in the story as it was presented. Perhaps I’ll pick it up when I’m in the right frame of mind but, until then, I’m shelving it.

OK, so it's a horror meta-novel, like Demon Theory and no doubt many of the works by the author.

It's a good bit of fun, and some parts of it are even great, but I dunno. There are many moments of Tarantine-style over-explaining of already belabored film references. There's plenty of the smug heavy-handedness of Joss Whedon knowing what you as an audience expect, and delivering it to you in exactly the way you expect it, hoping for a fist-pumping "Yeah!" of fandom but eliciting, instead, a bored sigh. Can we maybe try something a little new, a little unexpected? I dunno.

Still, pretty enjoyable, and fans of the slasher genre will find a lot to love, though perhaps no characters in particular to root for. ( )

A wide grimy blade cuts into a neck hard before we can look away, the blood welling up black around the meat, the sound wicked and intimate.
