Horror author Philip Fracassi talks about his newest novel, THE AUTUMN SPRINGS RETIREMENT HOME MASSACRE, featuring a senior citizen final girl and the shenanigans that take over her life at the retirement home.

He goes into how the setting for the story developed out of the societal tendency to overlook the elderly and the care homes and other facilities they end up in to be “out of sight, out of mind”, and where the characters of Rose and Miller and their friends came into play. Philip also pulled from his location manager experience to design Autumn Springs and the community around it.
