She can still smell him.
She can still feel him.
But she can’t see him.

Dani Kincaid is an average teen on the cusp of adulthood in late 1990s California. She has her friends, her family, her boyfriend, and a job at the local video store. But she also has a dangerous stalker in preppy classmate Matt Vickers, a textbook misogynist who will stop at nothing to have her by his side.

Twenty-five years later, Dani is still struggling to shake the past of the killer summer that turned her life upside down. She’s changed her identity and moved to Florida, where the echoes of that awful summer continue to haunt every aspect of her life. Even though Vickers has been behind bars for a quarter of a century, Dani slowly begins to feel his terrifying shadow creep back into her life to finish what he began.

In a final girl showdown to end all showdowns, Dani is forced to face her past and stand up for herself and her freedom once and for all. But at what cost?

Killer Summer is a pink horror slasher splashed with hot magenta blood; a meditation on consent, independence, and the terrifying price that all women face, simply for being alive.
