The Horror Film Killer

Beschreibung

What would you do if someone acted out-for real- the kill scenes from your student-made horror film? That's the dilemma facing high school seniors Cassie and Donovan. Best friends, aspiring filmmakers, and hopeful romantic partners, they set out to complete a feature-length horror film as a graduation project for their performing arts high school. Using actors and crew from among their classmates, they aim to finish the bulk of shooting over Spring Break. When several murders occur not far from their locations-each one recreating a specific "kill" scene from their script-they suddenly find themselves embroiled in a real-life horror movie neither of them bargained for. Cassie's police officer dad and his ex-girlfriend-a homicide detective Cassie once hoped would be her stepmom-allow the film shoot to continue because the killer has threatened to murder Donovan's mother if they stop. Traps are set and arrests are made, but the killer-who might be a member of the cast or crew-is one step ahead of their every move. Can Cassie and Donovan help the police unmask the psychopath before more people die?

Autor

Michael J. Bowler grew up in San Rafael, California, and majored in English and Theatre at Santa Clara University. He went on to earn a master's in film production from Loyola Marymount University, a teaching credential in English from LMU, and another master's in Special Education from Cal State University Dominguez Hills. He taught high school in Hawthorne, California-both in general education and to students with learning disabilities-in subjects ranging from English and Strength Training to Algebra, Biology, and Yearbook. He has been a volunteer Big Brother to eight different boys with the Catholic Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and a decades-long volunteer within the juvenile justice system in Los Angeles. He has been honored as Probation Volunteer of the Year, YMCA Volunteer of the Year, California Big Brother of the Year, and 2000 National Big Brother of the Year. The "National" honor allowed him and three of his Little Brothers to visit the White House and meet the president in the Oval Office. He has completed three as-yet-unpublished novels aimed at the teen market, and one for middle grade. His goal as an author is for teens and middle schoolers to experience empowerment and hope; to see themselves in his diverse characters; to read about kids who face real-life challenges; and to see how kids like them can remain decent people in an indecent world. The most prevalent theme in his writing is this: as a society, and as individuals, we're better off when we do what's right, not what's easy.
