Once upon a time, in the land of Rosewood, Pennsylvania, there lived five girls - Spencer, Hannah, Emily, Aria, & their leader, Alison. They were the most popular girls in town.

Aria's back from Iceland. Spencer is determined to get into Yale. Hannah is now the Queen Bee. And Emily has a crush on the new girl next door. They don't talk. They barely even say hi when they see each other. Until they got those texts. Someone named "A" sent them. She knows all their secrets, just like Ali did. But Ali's dead, right? They just found her body exactly 2 years after she went missing, right? But "A" is still texting. Who is "A"? Is she Ali? And if she isn't Ali, then what really happened to Alison DiLaurentis? One thing's for sure. Everyone in Rosewood has a secret or two. And they will not stay buried for long. Not if "A" has anything to say about it.

Laura decides to investigate herself, and with help from her dorm managers Perry and LaFontaine, and Danny the friendly TA, uncovers a similar string of disappearances and a seedy underbelly of danger lurking underneath Silas.

Her college freshman grades, failing. Her dreams, horrifying . . . yet enticing. In them, Ji-won walks through bloody rooms full of eyes. Succulent blue eyes. Salivatingly blue eyes. Eyes the same shape and shade as George’s, who is Umma’s obnoxious new boyfriend. George has already overstayed his welcome in her family’s claustrophobic apartment. He brags about his puffed-up consulting job, ogles Asian waitresses while dining out, and acts condescending toward Ji-won and her sister as if he deserves all of Umma’s fawning adoration. No, George doesn’t deserve anything from her family. Ji-won will make sure of that. For no matter how many victims accumulate around her campus or how many people she must deceive and manipulate, Ji-won’s hunger and her rage deserve to be sated.

With the announcement of a TV adaptation, I think this would be a good time to see who you think should be the cast, be it either live-action or animated.

Clown in a Cornfield 2: Frendo Lives

After barely making it out of the Kettle Springs cornfields alive, Quinn’s first year away at college should be safe and easy. All she wants is to be normal again. But instead, Quinn finds that her past won’t leave her alone when she becomes the focus of online conspiracy theories that claim the Kettle Springs Massacre never happened. It’s a deranged but relentless fantasy, and there’s nothing Quinn can do to get people to hear the truth—not even on her own campus or in her own dorm room. So when a murderous clown attacks Quinn at a frat party while another goes after her father in Kettle Springs at the same time, Quinn realizes that the facts alone are never going to save her. Her only option is to go back into the cornfields, back where the nightmare began, to set the record straight the only way she knows how. Because when the truth gets lost in the lies, that’s when people start to die.
