    The Last Final Girl is like Quentin Tarantino's take on The Cabin in the Woods. Bloody, absurd, and smart. Plus, there's a killer in a Michael Jackson mask." (Carlton Mellick III, author of Apeshit) 
    Life in a slasher film is easy. You just have to know when to die. 
    Aerial View: A suburban town in Texas. Everyone's got an automatic garage door opener. All the kids jump off a perilous cliff into a shallow river as a rite of passage. The sheriff is a local celebrity. You know this town. You're from this town. 
    Zoom In: Homecoming princess, Lindsay. She's just barely escaped death at the hands of a brutal, sadistic murderer in a Michael Jackson mask. Up on the cliff, she was rescued by a horse and bravely defeated the killer, alone, bra-less. Her story is already a legend. She's this town's heroic final girl, their virgin angel. 
    Monster Vision: Halloween masks floating down that same river the kids jump into. But just as one slaughter is not enough for Billie Jean, our masked killer, one victory is not enough for Lindsay. Her high school is full of final girls, and she's not the only one who knows the rules of the game. 
    When Lindsay chooses a host of virgins, misfits, and former final girls to replace the slaughtered members of her original homecoming court, it's not just a fight for survival - it's a fight to become The Last Final Girl.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our world needs help. Our world needs hope. This amazing series of three books offer that hope. Read them, you won't regret it. 
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very interesting book especially for the times we live in. The story line would have been easier to follow if I had read book 2, but it does explain enough to catch up. Life lessons taught - trust must be stronger than fear; love more important than hate; gratitude more than greed. With these there is HOPE. 
    If the Ring's mission is to succeed, Eva must travel back to Earth and try to stop Frank before he can reveal In-Between to the public.

    Eva needs to work on her personal development to be a part of the Ring. 
    Only when all the members of the Ring have passed a test can they return to Earth with the knowledge and awareness that is crucial to the future of mankind. 
    Gabriel's condition worsens, and the Ring cannot be assembled without him. 
    Time is running out, and the question is, will Eva be ready on time? 
    Will she be able to let go of control and surrender to her vulnerability and her heart?

    A horrific thrill ride you won't be able to put down, until the unbelievably shocking ending! Death on the Railway is a supernatural crime thriller with an element of romance. This thriller is set in the highly stressed, fast-paced world we live in today and will appeal to readers who enjoy psychological thrillers. 
    When the parents of 21-year-old Angelo Russo are tragically killed in a car accident, he is left in the care of his older sister, Carina Russo, who seduces him. Both Angelo and Carina fall deeply in love with one another, but Carina fears that her professional modeling career will be in jeopardy should the salacious secrets of her life be exposed. After she has a fight with Angelo, she disappears into the night, never to be seen alive again. 
    Once Angelo gets hired to be a conductor for Morton City Railway, he discovers that his beloved sister has become a murder victim of the city's psycho serial killer, the "Railway Butcher." Angelo is incessantly haunted by his sister's ghost as more of his colleagues and friends become victims of the "butcher." 
    Angelo's crusade to find justice for Carina and his friends quickly turns into one needing to prove his own innocence, when he becomes the prime suspect during the police investigations. When a new love, named Carlita Gomez, also enters his life, Angelo accepts that he needs to let go of his romantic love for Carina in order to find true happiness; but Carina isn't ready to let go, and he must now fight for his life and to protect the woman that he loves. 
    This new version will be more reader-friendly and less offensive. However, since "Death on the Railway" is primarily a horror story, this book is NOT RECOMMENDED FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. This new version still contains graphic horror, gore, violence and mature subject matters. 
    Author, Manuel Rose, injects his many years of railroad experience and knowledge into this novel in order to help make this terrifying tale believable.
