Lily Anderson’s Killer House Party has all the trappings of the funny Scary Movie franchise, and don’t take with word “trappings” lightly. Arden is the perfect high school graduate — a 4.3 GPA, a good group of diverse friends and a boy toy she isn’t dependent upon. So what could go wrong in her life? How about divorcing real estate parents who are spent her college fund and believe she can just become a real estate agent like them? Arden’s solution–throw a killer house party in in the town’s haunted mansion that her parents recently listed. Charging a small fee to attend this alternative to the sober grad night at her school, Arden’s friends think the night is going well until one of them mysteriously disappears, and the house comes alive. Ghosts of previous occupants will reach their hands through walls to pull them into the house forevermore. Slicing and dicing might occur. Zombie trances overcome. But Arden will not fall victim to another of her parent’s bad decisions. A few laugh-out-loud oh-my’s at trying to make scary stories scary will either be appreciated by the genre-seeker or land this book back into the return bid early. If you are a funny, not-so-horror movie connoissouer, you might just get trapped up in Killer House Party. Added bonus is the red solo cup cover that will definitely help circulations in a high school library.
