Translation of: Plain bad heroines.
Description
"1902, escuela para chicas Brookhants. Flo y Clara estan fascinadas la una por la otra y tambien comparten su obsesion por una atrevida escritora llamada Mary McLane, autora de unas escandalosas memorias. Para mostrar su devocion por Mary, las chicas crean su propio club privado, la Sociedad de las Heroinas Sencillas y Perversas. Sus encuentros tienen lugar en un campo de manzanos, que sera el escenario de su felicidad mas salvaje y, finalmente, de sus macabras muertes. Es alli donde aparecen sus cuerpos, victimas de un enjambre de avispas furiosas, con una copia del libro de Mary abierto junto a ellas. Casi cinco anos mas tarde, la escuela Brookhants cierra sus puertas definitivamente; pero antes, tres personas mas aparecen muertas en inquietantes circunstancias. Mas de un siglo despues, el ahora abandonado y medio en ruinas edificio de Brookhants vuelve a ser noticia cuando la famosa escritora Merritt Emmons publica una exitosa obra celebrando la historia feminista y queer que rodeo a la (S0(Bencantada y maldita(S1 (Binstitucion, que tambien se adapta a la gran pantalla y se convierte en una controvertida pelicula de terror protagonizada por la it girl y superestrella del cine homosexual, Harper Harper, en el papel de Flo y su antitesis, la actriz de serie B y antigua estrella infantil Audrey Wells, en el papel de Clara. Pero cuando Brookhants abre sus puertas una vez mas y las tres modernas heroinas llegan para empezar el rodaje, el pasado y el presente, la ficcion y la realidad, se entrelazaran de manera oscura."--
Description
1902, the Brookhants School for Girls. Flo and Clara are obsessed with each other and with Mary MacLane, the author of a scandalous bestselling memoir. The girls establish their own private club and call it the Plain Bad Heroine Society. Their bodies are discovered in a nearby apple orchard, with a copy of Mary's book splayed beside them, the victims of a swarm of stinging, angry yellow jackets. Within five years three more people die on the property-- and the Brookhants School for Girls closes its doors forever. The now abandoned and crumbling Brookhants is back in the news when writer Merritt Emmons publishes a breakout book celebrating the queer, feminist history surrounding the "haunted and cursed" Gilded Age institution. Her book inspires a controversial horror film adaptation starring lesbian it girl Harper Harper playing the ill-fated heroine Flo, and former child star Audrey Wells as Clara. But as Brookhants opens its gates once again for filming, soon it's impossible to tell where the curse leaves off and Hollywood begins. --
