About the Book



"Everyone at Pritchett High wants an invitation to the Senior Scavenge. Violet Warren and her friends are the lucky ones. Eight girls will break into the Poison Apple Carnival after hours for a scavenger hunt, then at sunrise, they'll gather for a celebration in honor of the upcoming senior year. But someone else has another game planned. Minutes after the girls sneak into the carnival, a madman in a rubber mask begins slashing his way through the group, and Violet quickly realizes his motives are personal. As she watches her friends die in a series of increasingly bizarre attacks, she must fight to survive while trying to answer the question: What could she have done to earn a fast pass for a roller-coaster ride straight to hell?"--



Book Synopsis



"It does not go light on the gore!" -Stephen Graham Jones, NYT Bestselling Author of My Heart is a Chainsaw, I Was a Teenage Slasher, and Don't Fear the Reaper


A senior year goodbye morphs into carnival carnage ...

Everyone at Pritchett High wants an invitation to the Senior Scavenge, and this year, Violet Warren and her friends are the lucky ones. Eight girls will break into the Poison Apple Carnival after hours for a scavenger hunt, a school tradition to welcome the best and brightest into their senior year.

But warm welcomes turn into gory goodbyes as those hunting become the hunted. One by one, Violet's friends are viciously murdered by a mysterious masked figure running loose through the carnival grounds.


Can Violet survive this roller coaster ride from hell and unmask the killer in time?

Or will her head end up on a cotton candy pike?


Heathers meets Fear Street in this sickly-sweet, hilariously over the top slasher novel with a killer unmasking you won't see coming.
