RUE MORGUE #231 has arrived with blood on its hands and summer on its mind — a full-issue spotlighting the slasher movie’s latest turns in film, fiction, and a decade of gaming’s most beloved horror playground.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma

Jane Schoenbrun‘s radical new film dismantles the summer slasher from the inside, transforming it into something far more intimate and devastating. We talk to stars Gillian Anderson and Hannah Einbinder who give us the inside scoop on Schoenbrun’s fearless reinvention.

Ten Years of Dead by Daylight

The game that turned horror’s greatest killers into playable nightmares marks a decade of survival horror world-building. We go inside the phenomenon, with the creators who pull back the curtain on what makes it endure.

E.L. Chen‘s debut novel Slasher Summer drags the genre off the screen and onto the page, and RM is there to meet it.
