Olivia Worley Author Event

The Garden District Book Shop is excited to welcome back author and New Orleans native Olivia Worley as she celebrates the local launch of her latest book Final Cut. The set of a low-budget slasher film turns into a real-life horror movie in this twisty, wicked blend of Scream meets The Reappearance of Rachel Price.

The evening will kick off at 6:00 PM. Worley will be joined in conversation by the book shop’s own Caroline Johnson. After they discuss Final Cut, Worley will open the floor to a Q&A and then personalize copies of her book.

​

The event is free and open to the public but interested parties are encouraged to RSVP and reserve their books ahead of time on Eventbrite.

Final Cut

​When recent high school graduate Hazel Lejeune gets the lead role in a slasher film, it feels like a dream come true. This is her chance to break into the industry, build her reel, and prove to her mom that this “gap year” can turn into a career. So what if it’s set in the nothing town of Pine Springs, Louisiana–the same place her father, the Pine Springs Slasher, was convicted of a series of murders fifteen years ago?But when Haze arrives on set, she gets much more than she bargained for. The shoot is plagued with suspicious “accidents.” Mentions of her dad dot the entire script. And then, a gruesome murder shocks everyone to the core. Now, it’s clear there’s a real killer on set—one who's determined to finish the film at all costs. But is this merely a copycat, or is the wrong Slasher behind bars?As the body count rises and reality blurs with fiction, Haze must unmask the killer before she becomes a real-life final girl…or before the killer flips the script and makes her the next victim.
