Descrição da editora
Barbie meets Scream with a 90s nostalgia twist in this horror romp from Bless Your Heart author Lindy Ryan.
Horror author Jill has just moved to suburban New Jersey, hoping to fit in with the new PTA moms and maybe not weird everyone out with her Final Girl coffee mug. You know. Make some real friends.
But then a plastic face-masked serial killer begins slashing their way through town, one overly made-up mom at a time. The police are incredulous. The moms are indignant. And Jill is slowly wrapped into a killer’s murderous spree, until she might just be the last woman standing.
A delightfully murderous novel that is equal parts scathing and salacious, Dollface will win you over with its gossip and gore, one body at a time.
“A whimsical, bloody, unsettling suburban slasher with an unexpected twist." – New York Times bestselling author Delilah S. Dawson
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this run-of-the-mill slasher from Ryan (Bless Your Heart), horror writer Jill Marshall moves to a suburban neighborhood where a serial killer hunts the PTA. In leafy, well-to-do Brunswick, N.J., Jill stands out. She's not perky like her neighbor Darla, cutting like local ringleader Maribel, or comfortable swanning around in athleisure like supermom Kellen. She joins the PTA anyway in hopes of fitting in while she procrastinates work on her latest book. Then a killer, disguised in a Barbie-like mask that resembles the face of the woman who previously owned Jill's home, starts targeting citizens of Brunswick. Readers will have little trouble figuring out what's going on, but Jill takes a bafflingly long time to ferret out the culprit. Ryan attempts to salvage her well-worn premise with a frenetic prose style (a character applying makeup "rubs oceans around each eye, her fingertips smudging bruisy blue on the stubby pink lipstick cylinder clenched in her fist"), but the effect is more overstimulating than invigorating. This misses the mark.
