Publisher's Summary

Horror has a new name: Daphne. A brutal, enigmatic woman stalks a girls high school basketball team in a reimagining of the slasher genre by the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box.

It's Kit Lamb's last summer with her high school basketball team, before college and the rest of her life begins.

The night before the big game, her teammate tells a ghost story about a girl from their school named Daphne. Some say she was murdered, others that she died by her own hand.

But some say that Daphne was - or is - a murderer herself. That she appears anytime someone thinks about her - to kill again.

As her teammates vanish, one by one, Kit must find the truth behind the legend. Or the summer of a lifetime will become the last summer of her life...

Mixing a nostalgic coming-of-age story and an instantly iconic female villain with an innovative new vision of classic horror, this is an unforgettable thriller as only Josh Malerman could imagine it.

A clumsy novel with a very ‘light’ storyline

This was not one of his best - barely scary or shocking. Really clumsy storyline. I had to keep checking if this was YA because it was so weak on details and characters. Also I got it as an audiobook and the narrator was awful. Super breathy. Very irritating to listen to. Just awful, sorry.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
