Barbie meets Scream with a nostalgic 90s twist in
this horror romp.
Horror author Jill has just moved to suburban New Jersey, hoping to fit in with the new PTA moms and maybe not weird everyone out with her Final Girl coffee mug. You know. Make some real friends.
But then a plastic face-masked serial killer begins slashing their way through town, one overly made-up mom at a time. The police are incredulous. The moms are indignant. And Jill is slowly wrapped into a killer’s murderous spree, until she might just be the last woman standing.
A delightfully murderous novel that is equal parts scathing and salacious, Dollface will win you over with its gossip and gore, one body at a time.

praise for Dollface
“A whimsical, bloody, unsettling suburban slasher with an unexpected twist that will hit way too close to home for any mom who'd rather face a serial killer than a PTA meeting. I connected to the final girl on a molecular level!” –New York Times bestselling author, Delilah S. Dawson
"A twisty, gory homage to the slasher, with a horror writer heroine who's just a little too knowledgeable about genre tropes...Dollface is a whole lot of bloody fun." –Christina Henry, author of Alice and The Place Where They Buried Your Heart

“Literary slashers are having a moment right now, but I’m hard pressed to think of one in any medium like Lindy Ryan’s DOLLFACE.
