Ten years ago, Jorie Stroud was the rising star of the October Film Haunt - a trio of horror enthusiasts who camped out at the filming locations of their favorite scary movies, sharing their love through their popular blog. But after a night in the graveyard from Proof of Demons - perhaps the most chilling cult film ever made, directed by the enigmatic Hlne Enriquez - everything unraveled. Now, Jorie has built an isolated life with her young son in Vermont. In the devastating wake of her viral, truth-stretching Proof of Demons blog entry - hysteria, internet backlash, and the death of a young woman - Jorie has put it all, along with her intense love for the horror genre, behind her. Until a videotape arrives in the mail. Jorie fears someone might be filming her. And the "Rickies" - Enriquez obsessives who would do anything for the reclusive director - begin to cross lines in shocking ways. It seems Hlne Enriquez is making a new kind of sequel.and Jorie is her final girl. As the dangers grow even more unexpected and strange, Jorie must search for answers before the Proof of the movie's title finds her and takes everything she loves. This riveting and layered horror novel unleashes supernatural terror in a world where truth can be manipulated, and nothing is as it seems. Beautiful and horrifying, with an unforgettable cast of characters, The October Film Haunt will shock and delight readers.
