Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

A chilling slasher from a razor-sharp new horror voice, perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix and the Scream franchise


If you hear her knock, it’s already too late . . .

Willow is in need of an escape.

A former sitcom star, she’s been publicly shamed on the internet after posting something she really shouldn’t have.

She checks in to Camp Castaway, an adults-only retreat based at an old campground in the woods.

It’s the first night and the campers gather round the fire to tell some ghost stories. That’s when Willow hears the tale of Knock Knock Nancy. A local urban legend about a witch, brutally beheaded in this very woodland.

They say her restless spirit knocks on doors late at night. If you answer, she’ll take your head.

Willow doesn’t believe in ghost stories. But the next day, a camper has vanished under mysterious circumstances. And then that evening, in her cabin, Willow hears it . . . .

Knock, Knock, Knock.

‘A slasher that is both bloody and uplifting. And fun! Every copy should come with a bucket of popcorn’ Gus Moreno, author of This Thing Between Us

Reviews

A brilliantly fun horror concept, expertly executed by a blossoming talent in the genre - if you like your thrillers dark, funny, clever and bang up to date, then this is the book for you I really enjoyed this chilling book. A thrilling read, and it would make a great movie I really enjoyed the way Heads Will Roll plays with all the horror/slasher tropes, while also taking aim at the pitfalls of social media and cancel culture. A whole lot of bloody fun with a serious message at its heart Beautifully written and impossible to put down Between the frequent jump scares and blood spillage, Winning’s story is packed with an awful lot of heart. Readers will be on the edges of their seats Winning continues to write great horror novels, and this is a must-buy… a warm love letter to slasher flicks… [he] masterfully builds a story that will leave readers breathless... The pacing is frenetic and captivating I enjoyed Heads Will Roll, with its compelling, complex characters and inventiveness in how it engaged politically with its horrors This book is incredible! A gripping slice of 80s-inspired horror with a rattling good plot, terrific characters and zingy dialogue, and with something important to say about the world today. I can’t recommend Heads Will Roll enough. Winning utilises the best jump-scare slasher tropes to create a thrilling and fun classic horror story with a modern touch Expand reviews
