How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates

內容簡介

內容簡介 科克斯(Kirkus Review)星級好評！妳要當「浪漫劇女主角」還是最懂恐怖片的「終極女孩」？一位影癡在一場快速約會活動中捲入了連環謀殺案，她必須利用自己對愛情與恐怖片類型的百科全書式知識，讓自己全身而退。當潔米（Jamie Prescott）和她最好的朋友蘿莉參加一場快速約會時，潔米預期會遇到一堆平庸的男人，然後在活動結束後去大啖街頭小吃。她沒料到的是，在一次停電期間，其中一位約會對象會在桌邊被割斷喉嚨。當燈光重新亮起，地板上出現更多屍體後，一切變得清晰無比：約會可能是一項非常危險的消遣。潔米與剩下的約會者們帶著臨時湊合的武器，並憑藉著潔米對「砍殺電影中絕對不能做的事」的博學知識，試圖尋找出口，而殺手則不斷增加傷亡人數。隨著夜幕低垂，潔米與面具殺手正面對峙，她開始懷疑這些殺戮是為了向某位約會者求愛，並想將對方塑造成現實版的「終極女孩」。但潔米另有打算，當她為生存奮鬥時，卻身不由己地捲入了與另外兩名倖存者的三角戀中。她能撐過這場血腥屠殺並找到自己的「從此幸福快樂」嗎？還是這位手持開山刀的瘋子另有結局安排？《十次約會殺死一個男人》(暫譯)是為《連續殺人犯時期的愛情》（Love in the Time of Serial Killers）與《屠夫與黑鳥》（Butcher & Blackbird）的書迷們準備的一個驚悚愛情故事。幽默、令人心醉神迷，然而絕對恐怖的「砍殺羅曼史」（Slasher rom-com）。「對浪漫喜劇、砍殺電影，以及熱愛這兩者的女性們的一場歡樂慶典。」——《科克斯書評》（星級評論）“A delightful celebration of rom-coms, slasher flicks, and the women who love them.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review)A humorous, swoony, and downright terrifying slasher rom-com in which a cinephile gets caught in the middle of a murder spree at a speed-dating event and must use her encyclopedic knowledge of the romance and horror genres to make it as a real-life Final Girl.When Jamie Prescott and her best friend Laurie attend a speed-dating event, Jamie expects to meet a roster of mediocre men and indulge in some street food afterwards. She doesn’t expect one of her dates to have his throat slit at their table during a blackout. After the lights come back on and there are more bodies on the floor, it becomes clear that dating can be a very dangerous pastime.Armed with makeshift weapons and Jamie’s extensive knowledge of what NOT to do in a slasher, the remaining speed daters try to find an exit while the killer adds to their body count. As the night progresses and Jamie comes face-to-mask with the murderer, she begins to suspect they are committing the slayings to woo one of the daters and turn them into a real-life Final Girl. But Jamie has other plans, and as she fights for her life, she can’t help but find herself ensconced in a love triangle with two of the other survivors. Will she make it through the bloodshed to find her Happily Ever After? Or does this machete-wielding psychopath have another ending in mind?For fans of Love in the Time of Serial Killers and Butcher & Blackbird, How to Kill a Guy in Ten Dates is one killer love story.
