In November our club will be reading the Final Girl Support Group and Grady has graciously agreed to join our discussion. I know the ladies and I of Shelf Indulgence are SO excited to read this and meet him.

But this is big news for Grady!! It hasn’t even been published yet but we’ve learned today via Deadline that Grady Hendrix‘s new novel “The Final Girl Support Group” has been set for a series adaptation.

The series is being developed by Annapurna, who acquired the rights to the novel.

“Both an homage to and subversion of iconic slasher films, The Final Girl Support Group is billed as a fresh new take on the beloved horror sub-genre, while also capturing the cultural zeitgeist around true crime stories.”

 

“The women in the Final Girl Support Group have been in therapy together for decades – ever since one was attacked by a cannibal family in Texas, by a machete wielding maniac at summer camp, by an older brother who returned to settle scores on Halloween, by a lunatic who allegedly entered their dreams. These are the middle-aged survivors of the real-life crimes the slasher movies are based on. Some of them are addicts, some are in denial, and some have become motivational speakers. And now the final girls are mysteriously dying, one by one.”

Hendrix is an award-winning novelist and screenwriter. His latest book, the New York Times Best Selling novel The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires, was optioned for series adaptation by Amazon Studios following a ten buyer bidding war. Hendrix is currently adapting his novel Horrorstör, about a haunted Ikea, for New Republic. His novel My Best Friend’s Exorcism is set up at Endeavor Content with Chris Landon producing the adaptation. Grady also authored We Sold Our Soulsand the Bram Stoker Award-winning nonfiction book, Paperbacks from Hell, a history of the horror paperback boom of the ’70s and ’80s. On the film side, he penned the screenplays for indie films Satanic Panic and Mohawk  and is currently writing an episode of Sam Raimi’s 50 States of Fear.

Elizabeth Craft and Sarah Fain (“The Fix”) are on board to write the adaptation. Hendrix’s novel, meanwhile, releases on July 13, 2021 via Berkley.
