The first rule of the Mary Shelley Club seems to be that you don't talk about the club,. Okay, that sounded familiar. In this story, new kid at school Rachel, falls in with a group of kids who have a secret club: The Mary Shelley Club, who all seem to be horror movie enthusiasts just like she is. But strange things happen at their schiool and some of them make Rachel a bit jumpy and remind her of "the incident" which is why she and her mom left Long Island. All will be revealed in the pages of this page-turner.

This is one of my favorite books that I’ve read in a long time. It’s so good! I’m a huge horror movie buff, and I’ll definitely be recommending this one to other horror movie buffs. In fact, I’ve already started to tell folks about this book coming out next April.

Most of the movies that are mentioned in the book are real movies, which was an extra fun treat. It makes me wonder if Gut Stab 6 was a nod to the Stab movies in Scream.

It’s great for older teens as well as adults. Do you like teen slasher movies? If so, you won’t be disappointed in this book.

This was SO good.
After having a traumatic experience, Rachel throws herself into horror movies hoping to become numb to fear. When she discovers a secret club that sets up pranks to the tune of horror tropes, she thinks she's found her people. But, of course, that's when things go awry.
This book was a page turner that kept me on the edge of my seat and guessing whodunit?
Just scary enough for a quiet October evening at home 😉
