‘I’ve been playing the part of a girl who escapes a serial killer every night for months. It’s not a game this time. The consequences are real, but we still have to play.’
An ode to the slasher films and final girls of the 80s, You’re Not Supposed To Die Tonight, is a unique and interesting take on the camp slasher. As quoted “There’s always a twist, but it only works if you don’t see it coming.” explains this book perfectly. Following charity, supervisor for the summer camp horror simulation, a self-obsessed horror film fan who’s passionate about being a final girl as “You know what happens to Black folks in slasher movies.” it was wonderful seeing a proudly gay black main character and her friends be represented in the quirky and weird tale. Go into this book with your eyes open and expect the unexpected.
