Think you've got what it takes to survive a horror movie? Noelle Layne, the Black woman protagonist of Lisa Springer's debut "There's No Way I'd Die First," probably has you beat. Noelle is an expert in all things horror but doesn't rank quite as high when it comes to becoming popular. In order to boost her social cache, she throws the biggest party her Long Island classmates have ever seen, even drawing some influencers out for a night of revelry. But when the clown Noelle hires turns out to be an ax murderer, Noelle will have to put all of her Final Girl knowledge to the test to save her classmates, and herself.
