Summary

From horror master Craig DiLouie comes the brutal and terrifying sequel to The Summer Fun Massacre. Summer camp was just the beginning ...

Three years have passed since the undead killer known as the Hungry Hare massacred the counselors at Camp Summer Fun. Each night, Sheriff Tom Bailey stands guard, ever watchful for its return.

As winter blows across the High Plains, most are ready to move on from the tragedy and enjoy the holidays. But then the night once again fills with screams. A family slaughtered in their home. A crime scene that looks horrifyingly familiar.

And the killings have only begun …

Tom will need every ally he can call on to fight the Hare—most important of all Deputy Laura Turner, Summer Fun’s only survivor. Together, Sheriff and Final Girl must find a way to destroy the monster haunting Cross County.

Because the Hungry Hare is coming to exact final vengeance on the town that made it. This time, it wants them all …

Critic Reviews

"Gory, glorious, and just a little too believable, Craig DiLouie’s latest is a slick meta slasher movie in book form, set in the brutal intersection of art and obsession."—Peter Clines, New York Times bestselling author on How To Make A Horror Movie and Survive
“How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive is a blood-spattered homage to horror films, an ode to the craft of filmmaking, and a cautionary tale about the fiery—often destructive—creative passion inside every artist, one that continuously teeters on the brink of insanity. DiLouie has created a celluloid cursed object story that John Carpenter himself would stand up and applaud from the front row.”—Philip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley on How To Make A Horror Movie and Survive
"DiLouie remixes classic horror tropes into a harrowing thriller set in 1988... Readers will be pulled in by the morally twisted characters and serpentine plot. Film buffs will especially enjoy this paean to ’80s slasher films and the people who love them."—Publishers Weekly on How To Make A Horror Movie and Survive
“A tricky, twisty book with more levels to it than a slasher movie has sequels. DiLouie knows what makes the horror genre tick.” —David Moody, author of the Hater and Autumn series on How To Make A Horror Movie and Survive
"Confidently striding through the genre, DiLouie displays a deep and abiding love for horror, even as he finds new ways to bend our disgust and despair to his will. The camera cannot turn away."—Andrew F. Sullivan, co-author of The Handyman Method on How To Make A Horror Movie and Survive
With well-developed characters, a swiftly paced narrative, and mounting dread, this new twist on the ghost story will delight horror readers. —Booklist on Episode Thirteen
"An epistolary descent into a living nightmare . . . well-written and genuinely unsettling. Fans of paranormal documentaries, ghost-hunting shows, and found-footage horror will lose their minds over this one."

—Kealan Patrick Burke, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Kin on Episode Thirteen
"Episode Thirteen is a suspenseful and engaging Rubik’s Cube of a novel. The reader has great perverse fun twisting the pieces back and forth, facet after facet, until Craig DiLouie’s grand design stands revealed in all its febrile splendor."—James Morrow, author of The Last Witchfinder on Episode Thirteen
“It’s the literary equivalent of a found footage movie, and it works beautifully. Part ghost story, part metaphysical horror, total nightmare — Episode Thirteen is a must read.”—David Moody, author of Hater and the Autumn series on Episode Thirteen
