Title: The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires Author: Grady Hendrix
We’re heading to 1990s suburban Charleston for a story that is equal parts polite society and pulse-pounding terror.
Make no mistake—while the title sounds cheeky, this is a "blood-soaked **horror** novel writhing with creepy-crawlies." As the author puts it, it’s a story about what happens when a group of housewives realizes their handsome new neighbor might not just be a "Yankee from away," but a literal monster. 🧛♂️
Think *Fried Green Tomatoes* and *Steel Magnolias* meet *Dracula*. Patricia Campbell’s life feels smaller every day—between endless chores and a distant husband—until a mysterious stranger named James Harris enters the picture. He’s sensitive and well-read, but Patricia begins to suspect he’s tied to a dark trail of disappearances that the police refuse to take seriously.
It’s a tale of female friendship, 90s nostalgia, and the "indignities women endure to be considered proper"—all wrapped in a terrifying thriller.
