Hammer Head - by Ed Brisson (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Hammer Head is a brutal, character-driven slasher series about a "final girl" who managed to survive her nightmare not once, but twice, yet still finds herself dragged right back. Now, she finds herself trapped in a secret prison, where, Hammer Head, the unstoppable killer she can't seem to escape, is set loose to hunt her all over again.

Jules McCormick is barely hanging on--she's deep in addiction and living on the edges when she's arrested and thrown into a strange, hidden prison. No trial, no reason, and no way out.

Inside, Jules realizes this isn't just a punishment. It's a recruitment. The prison is a freakishly accurate model of her old hometown, Spences Bridge, and stalking its streets is Henry "Hammer Head" Elgin, the infamous killer Jules thought she had already killed--twice.

As the authorities dump in new prisoners and Hammer Head picks them off one by one, Jules is forced to dig into her own buried memories--her guilt, her trauma, everything she tried to escape after surviving Hammer Head's original massacre.

The warden finally reveals the ugly truth: they're feeding "the expendable" to this monster just to keep him contained. But when their plan breaks down and Hammer Head bursts out of his cage, Jules has to decide--keep running or stand her ground and end the nightmare for good.
