The Slasher Universe is an immersive world from award-winning screenwriter & director Todd Nunes where every story cuts deep, and nothing stays buried for long.
Each book in the series stands on its own with hidden threads stitching the stories together into something far more sinister. Read them in any order… or follow the trail chronologically and watch the darkness spread across a blood-soaked 1970s America.
This isn’t just a book series—it’s the launchpad for a Kickstarter campaign designed to bring Catholic Schoolgirls vs Inbreeds screaming into full-scale film production.
Todd Nunes is the writer/director of the indie horror film All Through the House, a blood-soaked holiday slasher that racked up 24 award nominations, 13 wins, and spots on 14 “Best Of” lists. A lifelong devotee of horror—in books, film, and everything in between—he brings that obsession to every story he tells. Todd is the author of Death Ward 13, Catholic Schoolgirls VS Inbreeds, and The Duke, the third installment in his expanding Slasher Universe series.
Todd's screenplay adaptation of Catholic Schoolgirls VS Inbreeds has earned 8 awards, including recognition from the Crimson Screen Festival (2025) and the Hollywood Blood Horror Festival (2024). A graduate of the Los Angeles Film School and UCLA’s Writers’ Program, Todd has written more than 20 horror screenplays—each exploring different corners of the genre, from relentless slashers to slow-burn dread—while continuing to expand his Slasher Universe for readers and fans.
