Dead Teenager Movie cover

In this YA slasher, a horror-obsessed girl joins a group of wealthy teens for a wild weekend in a remote house, only to discover that the local murder rumours may be far more real – and far closer – than she imagined.

She loved scary movies… until she had the starring role.

A spree of murders is haunting Cork city, leaving behind stories of ghost parties and dismembered janitors, of dead diner owners and folkloric entities.

Die-hard horror buff April ignores it all for one perfect weekend of debauchery with Carl and his group of rich, hot and dangerously irresistible friends.

Together, they head to the West Cork countryside for an unforgettable trip before college begins. But in a remote mountainside house with views to die for, the dream party turns into a nightmare. Because some stories don't stay stories. And someone, or something, inside the house wants more than fear. They want blood.

"A funny, self-aware horror story that knows exactly what genre it belongs to—and has a great time playing with it."


-- Read and Reviewed

"Arch and knowing, Dead Teenager Movie is packed with the kind of winks and bloody flourishes that the genre is so well known for, as well as genuine scares and arresting imagery. If you've ever yelled at the protagonists in a horror movie, this is the book for you."

-- Dave Rudden

“I absolutely flew through Dead Teenager Movie! Equal parts action-filled and funny, once the chaos started it didn't let up until the end. A fun and nostalgic read for fans of teen slasher movies of the 90s and 00s.”

-- Alex Dunne, author of The Book of Secrets

"Light a candle, grab a blanket and some popcorn, you won’t be disappointed."
