Synopsis

"The Final Girls for found footage! Pokes fun at all the tropes while also telling a solid horror story and doing the sub-genre justice."
-Anthony Cousins, director of Frogman & Frogman Returns

"An amazing love letter to meta horror and found footage, where all the familiar tropes we enjoy are there, but it doesn't feel hackneyed or phoned in. Powell's love of horror, and especially found footage, is profoundly clear from the jump. This is Joey Powell's best, most fun book yet."
-T.T. Madden, lead writer of Hunt a Killer: Blair Witch

“For fans of ‘sucked-in’ narratives like The Last Action Hero but with a grim, lo-fi horror twist, Lost in Found Footage is a must-read.”
-Cemetery Dance

“Will make even haters of the sub-genre, such as myself, smile and wonder why the films aren’t this good.”
-FanFiAddict

“For longtime horror readers, the book functions as both a celebration and a conversation. It rewards familiarity with genre history while refusing to become dependent on nostalgia alone.”
-Ginger Nuts of Horror
