At 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.
