“Ghosts of the past have also inspired one of the most rollicking,
addictive novels I’ve read in years: The Southern Book Club’s
Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix, a tale of
housewives battling vampires that is sweetly painful, like hard
candy that breaks a tooth.”—Danielle Trussoni for The New York
Times Book Review
“A delight...its incisive social commentary and meaningful
character development make The Southern Book Club’s Guide to
Slaying Vampires not just a palatable read for non-horror
fans, but a winning one.”—USA Today, 3.5 out of 4 star review
“The novel is a charming testament to friendships and life's
imperfections, with dashes of rot and savagery to earn its keep in
horror literature....It's a rollercoaster [that] lands as a
vampire story concreted in vileness and Southern
charm.”—Fangoria
“[Hendrix] remains excellent at staging page-turning sequences of
excitement and anxiety...[and] a master of adding little details
that fill in the landscape of his Southern-fried world.”—The A.V.
Club
“As fun (and as creepy) as the title suggests….This novel will
definitely whet your appetite if you’re looking for something a bit
eccentric and spooky.”—BuzzFeed
“[A] clever, addictive vampire thriller....This powerful, eclectic
novel both pays homage to the literary vampire canon and stands
singularly within it.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
“Hendrix cleverly sprinkles in nods to well-established vampire
lore, and the fact that he's a master at conjuring heady 1990s
nostalgia is just the icing on what is his best book yet.
Fans of smart horror will sink their teeth into this
one.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
“Hendrix has masterfully blended the disaffected housewife trope
with a terrifying vampire tale, and the anxiety and tension are
palpable...a cheeky, spot-on pick for book clubs.”—Booklist,
starred review
“A vampire's hunger for blood may be insatiable, but this
masterpiece novel ladles out ample thrills, chills, and relevant
examples of sociopolitical injustices to satisfy any literary
appetite.”—Foreword Reviews, starred review

Street Journal, on My Best Friend’s Exorcism
“Pure, demented delight.”—The New York Times Book Review, on
Paperbacks from Hell

nice balance between comedy and horror.”—The Washington Post, on
