New York Times-bestselling author Goldy Moldavsky delivers a deliciously twisty YA thriller about a mysterious club with an obsession for horror.
New girl Rachel Chavez is eager to make a fresh start at Manchester Prep. But as one of the few scholarship kids, Rachel struggles to fit in, and when she gets caught up in a prank gone awry, she ends up with more enemies than friends.
To her surprise, however, the prank attracts the attention of the Mary Shelley Club, a secret club of students with one objective: come up with the scariest prank to orchestrate real fear. But as the pranks escalate, the competition turns cutthroat and takes on a life of its own.
When the tables are turned and someone targets the club itself, Rachel must track down the real-life monster in their midst . . . even if it means finally confronting the dark secrets from her past.

The Mary Shelley Club:
"This twisty tour de force from Moldavsky (No Good Deed) is at once a gripping teen melodrama, an incisive meditation on fear, and a love letter to horror and the genre's tropes." --Publishers Weekly, starred review
"An atmospheric page-turner about loving scary movies, longing to belong, and uncovering the many masks people wear." --Kirkus Reviews
"Moldavsky manages to both pay homage to and poke fun at traditional horror tropes, dialing up the cheesiness at points to then replace it with true terror, and the final fear test is keenly chilling." --The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
"A smart, serpentine, propulsive thriller with an ending that will make you gasp. Don't try to read this one right before bed if you want to sleep." --Jeff Zentner, award-winning author of Rayne & Delilah's Midnite Matinee
"This club is SERIOUSLY. MESSED. UP. I loved everything about it." --Lygia Day Peñaflor, author of All of This Is True
