LINDY RYAN’S “DOLLFACE” SLASHES INTO BOOK STORES TODAY

Tuesday, February 24, 2026 | Books, News

DOLLFACE, the much-anticipated new novel from Bram Stoker Awards finalist Lindy Ryan, officially hits bookstore shelves and online retailers today. 

Blending sharp satire, gleeful violence and ‘90s slasher nostalgia, DOLLFACE, published by Macmillan imprint Minotaur Books, is one of the most buzzed-about horror reads of the year. Described as ” Barbie meets Scream,” the story follows Jill, a horror author determined to fit in with her fellow suburban New Jersey PTA moms. However, all bets are off when a masked serial killer begins picking them off, one by one.

Equal parts scathing and salacious, DOLLFACE promises to win readers over with gossip and gore – one body at a time. And mainstream and horror-specific outlets are taking note, with Variety  praising Ryan’s third novel as  “a juicy, irreverent and bloody twist on the genre.” “Thank God for books like DOLLFACE and writers like Ryan,” writes author Elizabeth Broadbent in a Cemetery Dance review, adding, “Yes, the characters are relatable, well-drawn, and interesting. Yes, this plot moves. Yes, Ryan kept me guessing till the end … Lindy Ryan hands women the horror fix they crave.”

Ryan’s debut novel, Bless Your Heart, is now in development for television. Stay tuned…
