Fight back or flatline.

Sabrina Campbell wakes up in a pool of someone else's blood. She's in the Hensley house, a disgusting, ramshackle building. She knows its horrific past but has no memory of hers, and now the doors are sealed and the windows barricaded, the gloomy halls whispering with the echoes of a decades old massacre.

As Sabrina searches for her missing friends and the medication keeping her heart beating, she discovers she is not alone. A ghoulish, masked figure stalks her from the shadows and pushes her to the edge of her physical limits. She must stay calm, think fast, and evade a killer who wants the past remembered — one victim at a time.

Not everything from the past should be remembered, but the house — the house remembers everything.

I Woke Up a Final Girl, by bestseller John Durgin, is a pulse-pounding survival horror that subverts every trope in the book. Perfect for fans of classic slashers with a high-stakes, medical twist.
