En lo que respecta a las pelis de terror, todo el mundo sabe que: x Hay que evitar a toda costa los edificios abandonados, los almacenes portuarios y las cabañas perdidas en el bosque. x Hay que permanecer unidos. Nada de separarse. Ni siquiera para ir a «buscar pistas». x Si hay un asesino suelto, se acabaron los líos de una noche. Pero ojalá estas reglas estuvieran tan claras en la vida real. Rachel Chávez es la chica nueva. No hay cosa que le guste más que un buen clásico del terror (sobre todo si hay apuñalamientos sangrientos y muñecos diabólicos). Una tarde de peli y manta es su modo de evadirse de la vida desenfrenada de los niños ricos de Manhattan Prep y de algún que otro trauma del pasado. Cuando aceptan a Rachel en el Club de Mary Shelley, una sociedad secreta que hace pruebas basadas en tropes de películas y leyendas urbanas, siente que por fin ha encontrado su lugar. Pero a medida que avanzan los retos del miedo, solo una cosa es segura: este es un juego que no se puede permitir perder.
