The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires (2020)

Patricia Campbell finds escape from domestic monotony through her true-crime reading group, until a charming newcomer moves into their suburban Charleston neighbourhood and children start vanishing. Hendrix wrings delicious satirical comedy from Southern social etiquette and dismissive husbands while plunging into genuinely sickening vampire dread and body horror. It is an excruciatingly tense, funny and horrifying examination of domestic resilience against predatory evil.
