Burgeoning with dark humour, violence and mystery, The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre is a blood-soaked slasher sure to keep readers flinching, laughing, and guessing until the very last page.

Rose DuBois is not your average final girl.

Rose is in her late 70s, living out her golden years at the Autumn Springs Retirement Home.

When one of her friends dies alone in her apartment, Rose isn't too concerned. Accidents happen, especially at this age!

Then another resident drops dead. And another. With bodies stacking up, Rose can't help but wonder: are these accidents? Old age? Or something far more sinister?

Together with her best friend Miller, Rose begins to investigate. The further she digs, the more convinced she becomes: there's a killer on the loose at Autumn Springs, and if she isn't careful, Rose may be their next victim.

'Fracassi blends the true-life horror of aging and society's scorn for the elderly with an original slasher premise and reimagined Final Girl. The question isn't who will die at the Autumn Springs Retirement Home - but who will survive? Diabolically delightful' Tananarive Due, author of The Reformatory

'Rose isn't your average final girl. She's a woman and a survivor who you'll cheer for every step of the way in this smart, fast-paced slasher' Erika T. Wurth, author of White Horse and The Haunting of Room 904

'A wholly original slasher novel with a uniquely strong and vulnerable heroine...Fans of the genre should put this on their must-read list' Christina Henry, author of Alice and The Place Where They Buried Your Heart
