Overview
She's not the final girl. She's the reason there isn't one. In the chaotic allure of 2013 New York City, Jessie Anne appears to have it all together: sharp wit, quiet intensity, and a wild nightlife filled with underground raves and unconventional gigs. But beneath her composed exterior lies a fractured psyche consumed by unrequited love for her best friend, Tinsel, and a dangerous fascination with death. As her infatuation with Tinsel deepens, Jessie's double life begins to blur. The lines between love, envy, and obsession vanish, pulling her further into fantasies she can no longer control. People in her life become pawns-tools to process her frustration and rejection, leaving a bloody trail in their wake. Hysterical is a visceral journey into the twisted psyche of a woman navigating love, obsession, and her most disturbing cravings. Amber Dean's chilling debut blends biting humor with unnerving suspense, exploring the raw underbelly of city life where pleasure and peril collide.

Reviews
""If you liked Maeve, Mary, Satara, and Patrick... just wait till you meet Jessie! I read this within a 24 hour span because I couldn't get enough of it. Hysterical was everything I want and need in a book. Unhinged, female rage, raunchy, brutal, savage, dark feminine energy told from an unreliable narrator. This one has been one of my favorite reads all year."" - Spooky Bookworm ""This book was everything! Unhinged, brutal, sultry, dark, and 'hysterical' (pun intended). A story about obsession told by Jessie, an unreliable narrator who you just can't help but root for, who just continues to spiral deeper and darker throughout the story. Sex, drugs, blood, and female rage... literally everything you could possibly need for a solid horror book."" - Kayleigh Marie, Goodreads ""I went into this wanting the vibe of Boy Parts by Eliza Clark, but honestly, this was even better! There was just something so visceral and thought-provoking here, with scenes that will definitely stick with me."" - Vance, BookSirens ""This book is intense, much like how the main character is described throughout. It's also deranged, intoxicating and brutal!"" - Horrorween Queen
