This B Just Won't Die!

by Tanya Pell

Genres: Women's Fiction

Synopsis

This humorous, heart-pounding, feminist slasher follows an ageing scream queen as she is pursued by a serial killer impersonating the antagonist of her films.

Barbra Jacobs was once the ultimate final girl—the scream queen who survived the Mirror horror franchise. But twenty years later, that breakout role has trapped her in a life she can’t escape.

Now forty and still chasing respect in Hollywood, Barb spends her days signing autographs and appearing at horror conventions, desperate to prove she’s more than a relic of slasher fame.

When she’s offered a hosting role on a buzzy new horror docuseries, The Monsters We Made, it feels like her second chance.

Until the killings start.

Fans are being murdered in ways that mirror the brutal scenes from her films—and suddenly, Barb is no longer just an actress playing the final girl. She’s living it.

As reality blurs with fiction, Barb must confront the role that defined—and destroyed—her career. Because this time, escaping the killer may mean finally breaking free… or becoming part of the story forever.
