Slashers, Serial Killers, and Deconstructing the 'Final Girl': The Graveyard Shift with Maria Lewis

At Acid Horizon and Zer0 Books, we're inaugurating the spooky
season with a slasher special courtesy of screenwriter and
curator Maria Lewis and her latest novel 'The Graveyard Shift'.
We get into the history of the slasher genre, deconstructing the
horror of the knife-wielding killer from Jack the Ripper to Jason
Voorhees. We interrogate the central trope of the 'final girl'
and how to subvert it in a new, richer experience of the art form
of fear.
