Beth Orozco asked Riley Sager:

Thanks for a great read. Was the ending to "Final Girls" something you accomplished in your first draft, or is it something that grew organically as you worked on the novel?

Riley Sager And thank *you* for reading it! Yes, the ending -- which I won't spoil for those who haven't read FINAL GIRLS yet -- was planned from the very beginning. When I first started writing the book, I knew two things -- that it involved Quincy and Sam, two of three girls who survived terrible things, and how their story would end. Everything else evolved during the writing and revision process.

why use a pseudonym for this book.?

Heather vonReichbauer asked Riley Sager:

I just finished "Final Girls" and thought it was excellent. I am a huge horror fan and you really captured the essence of what makes a great slasher flick. I read the entire book in a few hours. What was your inspiration for the book and what is your favorite slasher flick?

Christopher asked Riley Sager:

Both of your books were such great reads. Will we ever see film adaptations of either one?
