This B Just Won't Die! by Tanya Pell

This humorous, heart-pounding, feminist slasher follows an aging scream queen as she is pursued by a serial killer mimicking the murders from her horror films.

In this darkly humorous love letter to the slasher film and the iconic doll, aging scream queen Barbra Jacobs desperately wants to break out of the box Hollywood has neatly packaged her in. Cast as the star of the Mirror horror franchise films twenty years ago, the role that shaped her career has also destroyed her dreams of being taken seriously as an actress. Now forty, and still seeking the approval of everyone around her, Barb makes her living signing old photos of herself and doing meet and greets at horror conventions.

When a producer calls her to ask about hosting The Monsters We Made, a hot new horror docuseries, she sees it as a step in the right direction. But when fans begin dying around her—and in ways that mimic the kills in her films—Barb is thrust back into a role she can’t seem to walk away from: the final girl.

Will she ever break out of the display-box life, or will Mirror Man end it all in Barbie’s Scream House?
