Cicada

By Tanya Pell

"A debut that shocks and delights... Creepy and fun, struck through with true genre savvy." - Adam Cesare, author of Clown in a Cornfield and Influencer

"Like John Carpenter had a bug baby with Guillermo del Toro." - Josh Winning, author of Heads Will Roll

Ash is stranded at a rural horror film festival about a giant killer cicada and can't decide what's worse: the movie or her idiot boyfriend. That is, until she realizes she's starring in the bloody film's sequel when people start dying and the locals won't let them leave.

Cicada is the fourth book in the Killer VHS Series, hailed as "the modern-day Goosebumps for Adults" by Horror Obsessive. Killer VHS Series titles are standalone stories featuring found footage elemnets and nostalgic vibes for horror's '80s and '90s glory days.
