About The Book

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 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!” —Delilah S. Dawson, New York Times bestselling author of Bloom and It Will Only Hurt For a Moment

Dollface is Stepford meets Stephen King—sharp and sinister in all the best ways. A twisted joy for horror fans.” —James “Murr” Murray and Darren Wearmouth, bestselling co-authors of The Stowaway and You Better Watch Out
