Women in Horror Panel

An aging scream queen is pursued by a serial killer impersonating the antagonist of her films. Tanya will be joining us to discuss her new book This B Just Won't Die. The ticket price of $30.81 includes the book for the cover price plus MA State Sales Tax. Please look for updates as we work with more authors to join Tanya for this event. This humorous, heart-pounding, feminist slasher follows an aging scream queen as she is pursued by a serial killer impersonating the antagonist of her films. Former 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 breakout 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, she makes ends meet by signing old photos of herself and doing meet and greets at horror conventions. So when a producer calls asking her host 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 she’s been imprisoned in, or will Mirror Man end it all in Barbie’s Scream House?
