Final Slash Boy - Paperback

Final Slash Boy is a taut, incendiary collection that melds queer desire, pop horror and personal hauntology into a lyric of resistance and reclamation. Channelling the tropes of slasher cinema, Mills interrogates survival, gendered violence and the figure of the "Final Boy" as both myth and mirror. These poems are sharp-edged, sexually charged, and formally agile-moving between elegy, confession and cultural critique with electric precision. Through repetition, fragmentation and reclamatory camp, Mills crafts a poetics that is at once vulnerable and defiant, haunted and transgressive.
