Book - 2025

"Brimming with dark humor, violence, and mystery, The Autumn Springs Retirement Home Massacre is a blood-soaked slasher sure to keep readers 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 kille...r on the loose at Autumn Springs, and if she isn't careful, Rose may be their next victim. Also by Philip Fracassi: Boys in the Valley."-- Provided by publisher.

Review by Booklist Review

Step aside, teenagers, and make way for Rose DuBois, a final girl for the over-70 set. Quick-witted and active, Rose enjoys her full life at Autumn Springs, surrounded by friends, especially her best friend, Miller. However, when two residents end up dead in quick succession, Rose starts to suspect that they were murdered, and she may be the only person able to stop the killings. Like the best slashers, this is an emotionally resonant tale, more about its characters than the violence being perpetrated against them (of which there is plenty). But it is also a well-paced, age-appropriate, kick-butt story told from Rose's point of view with cinematic, darkly humorous glimpses into the minds of the residents as they are about to be murdered. The horror at the heart of this story is the terrifying reality of how disposable society views mature adults. In the tradition of the Scream films, this story will appeal to fans of Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club (2020) and Grady Hendrix's Final Girl Support Group (2021).
