I could do with a little of that monster-courage, and the absence of fear would come in handy. But if watching a small selection of horror movies has taught me anything, it's that you don't get to fearlessness or be the Final Girl by waiting in the car. You get it by actually confronting the things that scare you and accepting the possibility that you could lose.

WINNER - INDIE BOOK AWARDS 2022, YOUNG ADULT CATEGORY

How do you ruin someone's childhood?

Ellie Marsden was born into the legendary Lovinger acting dynasty. Granddaughter of the infamous Lottie Lovinger, as a child Ellie shared the silver screen with Lottie in her one-and-only role playing the child monster in a cult horror movie. The experience left Ellie deeply traumatised and estranged from people she loved.

Now seventeen, Ellie has returned home to Hobart for the first time in years. Lottie is dying and Ellie wants to make peace with her before it's too late.

When a chance encounter with a young film buff leads her to a feminist horror film collective, Ellie meets Riya, a girl who she might be able to show her real self to, and at last comes to understand her family's legacy.

A story of love, loss, family and film - a stirring, insightful novel about letting go of anger and learning to forgive without forgetting. And about embracing the things that scare us, in order to be braver.
