Description
At The Final Girl Review, we believe horror doesn't just live in fiction—it lingers in memory, in cultural critique, and in the stories we tell ourselves about the world. We welcome original nonfiction that explores horror from the inside out, whether through personal experience, critical analysis, or reviews of the terrifying texts that shaped you.
