'It's a terrible story and one way to tell it is this: two girls in love and a fog of wasps cursed the place forever after...'
BROOKHANTS SCHOOL FOR GIRLS: Infamous site of a series of tragic deaths over a hundred years ago. Soon to be the subject of a controversial horror movie about the rumoured 'Brookhants curse':
In the early 1900's, Brookhants students Flo and Clara fell madly in love, brought together by their obsession for a scandalous memoir.
A few months later they were found dead in the woods, after a horrific wasp attack, the book lying next to their intertwined bodies.
Three more grisly deaths followed before the school was forced to close.
Now, the school's doors are open once more. But as the crew of glamorous young actresses assemble to start filming, past and present begin to blur. And soon it's impossible to tell quite where the curse ends and Hollywood begins...

The Happenings at Brookhants
"The Miseducation of Cameron Post" is one of my favorite books of all time. "Plain Bad Heroines" is very different in many ways, but also similiar in many others. Both books are about young queer women, and both are beautifully written coming-of-age novels. But while "Cameron Post" feels a lot like a summer vacation shaped by first love and tragedy, this book is more comparable to a Halloween movie night interrupted by real horror. The story has everything needed for good horror: Jumpscares, body horror, possession, curses, seances, dark humour, a porous fourth wall, and even historic reality.
