À propos de cet audio
The Instant New York Times Best Seller
A Good Morning America Buzz Pick
“The horror master...puts his unique spin on slasher movie tropes.” (USA Today)
A can't-miss summer read, selected by The New York Times, Oprah Daily, Time, USA Today, The Philadelphia Inquirer, CNN, LitHub, BookRiot, Bustle, Popsugar, and the New York Public Library
In horror movies, the final girls are the ones left standing when the credits roll. They made it through the worst night of their lives...but what happens after?
Like his best-selling novel The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, Grady Hendrix’s latest is a fast-paced, frightening, and wickedly humorous thriller. From chain saws to summer camp slayers, The Final Girl Support Group pays tribute to and slyly subverts our most popular horror films - movies like The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Scream.
Lynnette Tarkington is a real-life final girl who survived a massacre. For more than a decade, she’s been meeting with five other final girls and their therapist in a support group for those who survived the unthinkable, working to put their lives back together. Then one woman misses a meeting, and their worst fears are realized - someone knows about the group and is determined to rip their lives apart again, piece by piece.
But the thing about final girls is that no matter how bad the odds, how dark the night, how sharp the knife, they will never, ever give up.

When Louise finds out her parents have died, she dreads going home. She doesn’t want to leave her daughter with her ex and fly to Charleston. She doesn’t want to deal with her family home, stuffed to the rafters with the remnants of her father’s academic career and her mother’s lifelong obsession with puppets and dolls. She doesn’t want to learn how to live without the two people who knew and loved her best in the world. Most of all, she doesn’t want to deal with her brother, Mark, who never left their hometown, gets fired from one job after another, and resents her success.

Patricia Campbell's life has never felt smaller. Her ambitious husband is too busy to give her a goodbye kiss in the morning, her kids have their own lives, her senile mother-in-law needs constant care, and she's always a step behind on thank-you notes and her endless list of chores. The one thing she has to look forward to is her book club, a close-knit group of Charleston women united by their love of true crime and paperback fiction. At these meetings they're as likely to talk about the Manson family as they are marriage, motherhood, and neighborhood gossip.

They call them wayward girls. Loose girls. Girls who grew up too fast. And they’re sent to Wellwood House in St. Augustine, Florida, where unwed mothers are hidden by their families to have their babies in secret, to give them up for adoption, and most important of all, to forget any of it ever happened. Everything the girls eat, every moment of their waking day, and everything they’re allowed to talk about is strictly controlled by adults who claim they know what’s best for them.

Art Barbara was so not cool. He was a seventeen-year-old high school loner in the late 1980s who listened to hair metal, had to wear a monstrous back-brace at night for his scoliosis, and started an extracurricular club for volunteer pallbearers at poorly attended funerals. But his new friend thought the Pallbearers Club was cool. And she brought along her Polaroid camera to take pictures of the corpses.

In 1986, Eddie and his friends are on the verge of adolescence, spending their days biking in search of adventure. The chalk men are their secret code, stick figures they draw for one another as hidden messages. But one morning, the friends find a chalk man leading them to the woods. They follow the message, only to find the dead body of a teenage girl. In 2016, Eddie is nursing a drinking problem and trying to forget his past, until one day he gets a letter containing a chalk man — the same one he and his friends saw when they found the body.

Alma Katsu calls My Heart Is a Chainsaw “a homage to slasher films that also manages to defy and transcend genre.” On the surface is a story of murder in small-town America. But beneath is its beating heart: a biting critique of American colonialism, Indigenous displacement, and gentrification, and a heartbreaking portrait of a broken young girl who uses horror movies to cope with the horror of her own life.

Ce que les critiques en disent
“The Final Girl Support Group sizzles with action, originality, and a gleaming concept sharp as a scalpel.” (Charlaine Harris, number one New York Times best-selling author)
“A great read…[Hendrix] excels at writing horror humor.... His characters are funny and real, though at least one will definitely lose a limb at some point.... Though the final girls’ plight has all the scares of great horror fiction, there is an element of truth in their situation that will be recognizable to anyone who has experienced real trauma.” (The New York Times)
“A wildly entertaining romp through the conventions of horror’s slasher film subgenre.... Hendrix masterfully evokes the paranoid existences of his diverse cast in the aftermath of their traumatic ordeals, and he so explicitly details the massacres and fictional film sagas that grew out of them that readers may believe them to be real. The result is a wonderfully suspenseful and darkly comic novel that cleverly subverts popular culture. Horror fans will be wowed.” (Publishers Weekly, starred review)

Well written, bizarre, memorable
At first I wasn't sure if I would be able to get through this book. This is the fourth of this author's books that I have read and out of those four I had only been able to make it all the way through one ( My Best Friend's Exorcism). But I am very happy to say that this book can be counted as the second Hendrix book I have read from beginning to end. The story is well written; there were a few moments that I found myself muttering " what the..." or " you are next level paranoid", about the main character, but of course she has every justification to be so. This was a bizarre journey, but also enthralling. The growth that occurred for the main character was satisfying and felt natural. The supporting characters are wonderful. Overall, a memorable book.

A Great Read but You May Have to Do Some Research
This is the third Grady Hendrix novel I’ve read this year and it’s safe to say I’m hooked. Hendrix had such a perfect way of writing pastiche and playing within the format of horror stories. I loved the story of Final Girls and (without giving away spoilers) there is a point in the novel with the protagonist goes to visit a character and that character talks about slasher stories or the final girl as mythology. I loved this part of the book because it really made me think about the genre and my feelings on the consumption of slasher movies. I will say that for this book you kind of need to know the basics of what happens in famous horror movies. I had watched the Scream franchise but was unfamiliar with other horror movies so at the beginning of the book, I had to do a lot of googling when all the characters were introduced to keep them straight. I thought the actor/reader Adrienne King did a great job of her performance, but overall felt that her voice made the main character of Lynette seem much older than 38 years old. But, overall great, fun, fast paced read!

Okay plot poor execution
The plot was an interesting idea, but the overall execution was not great. For a genre that is all about final girls the book final girls support group isn’t much for making you care about your final girl. The supposed plot twist is easy to see and the attempt to hide it is as flimsy as our main character.

Awful narration
The narrator sounds like she’s reading a bedtime story to a toddler. I can’t enjoy the story because the way she speaks is so condescending that I feel like I’m being told to do my chores or I can’t go to the park. I doubt I’ll finish this and wish I hadn’t wasted a credit on it.

Well.....
I read 'The Southern Book Club's Guide to Vampire Slaying' and was pretty sure I'd found a new favourite author. It definitely wasn't what I expected it to be (a comedy?), and, being a horror fiction aficionado, the book was a great surprise.
'The Final Girl Support Group' was thoroughly entertaining. More than that, it had some lessons to teach. I like horror movies, too, and the 'stupid girl' characters - the ones who obviously are just supposed to die because, well, they are girls, always make me uneasy. You can yell 'don't go in the basement' all you like at the screen, but if the girl doesn't go in the basement....if she arms herself, uses her wits or calmly calls 911 - well, then it becomes the Canadian version of Breaking Bad: 'Mr. White, you have lung cancer, but don't worry, we'll start treatment free of charge and you have a great chance of recovery'. No story there.
Anyway, I enjoyed the book and the underlying moral. Thank you!
