Reality: A Reality TV Horror Novel

There is no winning. Only what you become.

America's sweetheart. The bad boy. The icon. The jock. The nerd. The doctor.

A year after a drunk-driving accident destroys her career, former child star Sydney Monroe is desperate for one thing: redemption. Shut In might be her last chance to get it.

Six contestants. Six weeks. One isolated mansion. Cameras watching twenty-four hours a day. Each contestant is assigned a horror-movie archetype and challenged to live it, from midnight rituals to punishments designed to push them past their breaking point.

Sydney gets the role everyone is supposed to root for: The Final Girl.

At first, the blood is fake. The scares are staged. The cameras are always watching. Then the challenges become dangerous. The crew stops appearing. The exits won't open. And the contestants begin to realize the show isn't just asking them to play their roles anymore.

Something inside the mansion wants a real horror story. And a Final Girl can only earn her title if everyone else dies.

For readers who miss the insane, voyeuristic reality TV of the 2000s but always thought it could use a little more... reality.
