Cross My Heart, I Hope You Die
One isolated cabin. One cheating boyfriend. One plan to get even.
When Nora, Ruby, and Cham discover that they've each been dating the same man, what starts as outrage quickly spirals into a plot for revenge. Together, they hatch a plan to lure their boyfriend to a romantic getaway in a secluded cabin at the top of a snow-covered mountain.
Only what was meant to be harmless payback soon takes a chilling turn when their not-so-adoring boyfriend is found dead in the cabin.
Stranded and snowed in, the women begin to look at each other with increasing suspicion. And as tensions rise, hidden motives come to light. To survive, each woman must confront her own demons as they fight to uncover if one of them is the killer, or if something else lurks in the freezing wilderness, waiting to pick them off one by one.
How to Survive a Horror Story
A delightfully chilling debut for fans of twisting thrillers and classic, spooky horror.
Welcome to Queen Manor. If you survive...well, that will be quite a story to tell…
***
Seven authors enter the manor.
Can they survive the story within?
When legendary horror author Mortimer Queen passes, a group of writers find themselves invited to the reading of his last will and testament, expecting a piece of his massive fortune. Each has their own unique connection to the literary icon; some known, some soon to be discovered. And they've been waiting for their chance to step into the author's shoes for some time.
Instead, they arrive at his grand manor and are invited to play a game. The rules are simple: solve the riddle and progress to the next room. If they don't, the manor will take one of them for itself.
You see, the Queen estate was built on the bones of Mortimer's family, and as in any true horror story, the house is still very, very hungry…
With the clever, locked-room thrills of Everyone in My Family Has Killed Someone and the ghostly horror of The Fall of the House of Usher, How to Survive a Horror Story is a bright, biting thrill ride that begs the question: how do the best horror stories come to be?
