Horror movie buff Charley Ryan isn’t expecting much when she’s enrolled at a girls’ boarding school on a remote island. That is, until someone starts killing off the senior class. From elaborate scare tactics to severed heads in fridges, these gruesome murders are straight out of Charley’s favorite films. To top it off, she’s also seeing the ghosts of her former classmates.

No one’s surprised when Charley’s taste in movies makes her the prime suspect. Determined to clear her name, she sets out to find the killer before her campus becomes more graveyard than school. She’s equipped only with her encyclopedic knowledge of horror cinema and the help of her trusty cinephile best friend, Olive—oh, and those pesky ghosts, if they can shut up long enough to lend a helping hand.

With a plot twist sure to make you SCREAM, this is an addictive love letter of a slasher that will keep you guessing until the very last page.

Scarlett Dunmore studied English and Creative Writing, eventually finding a love for YA literature. When she's not writing, she can often be found watching scary films or exploring abandoned abbeys, old cemeteries, and ruined castles in Scotland for inspiration. She lives in the UK. How to Survive a Horror Movie is her debut novel.

  • “Plentiful wry humor keeps things light, even as confident text unveils gruesome violence, gory deaths, and genuinely frightening scares, making this a standout addition to the canon of teen slasher novels.”
    Publishers Weekly, STARRED Review
  • “Wickedly funny and suspenseful: tailor-made for horror fans.”
    Kirkus
  • "This page-turner is an ode to slasher films and funny ghost ­stories. A great, twisty introduction to horror for teens."
