What begins as clumsy, alcohol-fueled bravado quickly collides with ominous consequences inside a pool-centered world. The narrative establishes a slow-burn supernatural slasher tone, mixing campy 2000s nostalgia with eerie dread and escalating violence, while guiding readers through a haunted, cursed whirlpool of horror and heart.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nAbout the Author  \nJeni Reid  \nBillie Host is the pseudonym for Morag Hannah and Erin Hardee, two geeky women living and writing together in Scotland. With backgrounds ranging from museum interpretation to web design, and from science communication to ghost tours, they are devoted to storytelling in almost every aspect of their lives and work. When they are not telling stories they can be found singing in choirs, foraging for fungi, and working on their 1880s fixer-upper. They also write historical speculative fiction as MK Hardy.  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \n‘This one goes on the shelf right between Night of the Dribbler and Aquaslash: nothing but a good time.’  \nStephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of My Heart Is a Chainsaw and I Was a Teenage Slasher  \n‘The perfect balance of campy fun, eerie dread, and chlorine-drenched  \nmayhem.’  \nMarcus Kliewer, New York Times bestselling author of The Caretaker  \n‘Point Horror meets It Follows in this dread-soaked supernatural slasher, which brings new meaning to the term “bloodbath”. With its queer heroes and ghostly mystery, this was equal parts eerie and evocative, and I loved every blood-dripping page. Obsessed.’  \nJosh Winning, author of Heads Will Roll and Burn the Negative  \n‘There’s no lifeguard on duty to save readers from this chlorinated gorefest. Splasher is a cursed whirlpool of horror and heart, some still bleeding, swirling about the page in brilliant arterial character arcs and pathos. Just when you thought it was safe to hop back in the pool, you have Billie  \nHost’s haunted romp to drown in.’  \nClay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes  \n‘An exciting venture into the world of competition swimming, Splasher is packed with 2000s era nostalgia and characters you can’t help but love – or love to hate. I found Splasher to be a fun take on the slasher genre with viscerally gory moments that will make me second-guess jumping into the  \ndeep end of a pool.’  \nBonnie Quinn, author of the How to Survive Camping series  \n‘Such a fun read – reminded me of Final Destination. Watery, spooky Y2K  \nfun with a heart!’  \nEllie Graves, author of Maneater  \n‘With the ghostly vibes of classic horror ’s yesteryears, Splasher by Billie Host takes the slasher novel to a new level, or, shall I say, to the deep end  \nand back. I used to enjoy swimming, but now I’ll think twice before ever  \ndiving into a pool again!’  \nJ.H. Markert, bestselling author of Sleep Tight and Dig  \n‘As if plucked from the shelves of your local Blockbuster, Splasher is a glorious B-movie extravaganza reflecting the best of classic horror and  \n2000s nostalgia.’  \nBenedict Anning, author of Atomic Coffin  \n‘Splasher is riotous fun – spooky, bloody, and spilling over with 2000s nostalgia. Between the increasingly horrific accidents (who knew there were so many ways to get hurt in a pool?) and my growing attachment to its irresistible cast, this book didn’t give me a second to catch my breath, and I’ll never smell chlorine again without thinking of it. Prepare not to put it down once you start it, and good luck ever getting in the water again once  \nyou’ve finished.’  \nC.N. Vair, author of Fawn  \n‘Dripping with detail, expertise and various bodily fluids, Splasher is the early 2000s chlorine-soaked ghost story you didn’t know you needed. Host sets the story in such a specific world that the horror hits hard and the stakes feel all too real. I recommend you dive in.’  \nMike Bockoven, author of FantasticLand and Come Knocking  \n‘Most of us have thought of exacting revenge, but Billie Host’s slow burn horror thriller takes it to the next level. It’s a fun read that will make you  \nquestion your next swim in a pool.’  \nMegan Mostyn-Brown, author of The Need  \n[www.penguin.co.uk](www.penguin.co.uk)  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nBillie Host  \nSPLASH ER  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nPrologue  \nThree factors often make very bad ideas loo","cbCaiqcjajxZP2KH","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqcjajxZP2KH","pdf",4914884,8,249,"English","en",105,"# Prologue\n## The break-in and the initial plan","[{\"question\":\"Who are the main characters in the prologue?\",\"answer\":\"The prologue introduces Martin Dexter and Ryan Black as two college sophomores who decide to break into the Richardson University Aquatics Center.\"},{\"question\":\"Why do Martin and Ryan decide to enter the Aquatics Center?\",\"answer\":\"They break in to celebrate the start of term.\"},{\"question\":\"What factors make the plan go wrong in the prologue?\",\"answer\":\"The prologue highlights three causes of bad ideas: inexperience, alcohol, and stupidity, all of which are present that evening.\"}]","Splasher - Billie Host | PDF",1785476216,383,{"code":4,"msg":31,"data":32},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":33,"title":13,"keywords":34,"description":14,"schema_data":35,"social_meta":87,"head_meta":89,"extra_data":91,"updated_unix":28},"splasher-billie-host","",{"@graph":36,"@context":86},[37,54,69],{"@type":38,"itemListElement":39},"BreadcrumbList",[40,44,48,51],{"item":41,"name":42,"@type":43,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":45,"name":46,"@type":43,"position":47},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":49,"name":12,"@type":43,"position":50},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":52,"name":13,"@type":43,"position":53},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/splasher-billie-host/115730/",4,{"url":52,"name":13,"@type":55,"author":56,"headline":13,"publisher":58,"fileFormat":61,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":62,"datePublished":63,"encodingFormat":61,"isAccessibleForFree":64,"interactionStatistic":65},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":57},"Person",{"url":41,"name":59,"@type":60},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-08-24","2026-07-31",true,{"@type":66,"interactionType":67,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":68},"ViewAction",{"@type":70,"mainEntity":71},"FAQPage",[72,78,82],{"name":73,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":75},"Who are the main characters in the prologue?","Question",{"text":76,"@type":77},"The prologue introduces Martin Dexter and Ryan Black as two college sophomores who decide to break into the Richardson University Aquatics Center.","Answer",{"name":79,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":80},"Why do Martin and Ryan decide to enter the Aquatics Center?",{"text":81,"@type":77},"They break in to celebrate the start of term.",{"name":83,"@type":74,"acceptedAnswer":84},"What factors make the plan go wrong in the prologue?",{"text":85,"@type":77},"The prologue highlights three causes of bad ideas: inexperience, alcohol, and stupidity, all of which are present that evening.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":52,"og:type":88,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":59,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":90,"canonical":52},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":93},[94,97,101,105,110,115,120,124,129,132,136],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":95,"slug":96},90,"story-novel",{"id":47,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":98,"show_sort_weight":99,"slug":100},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":53,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":102,"show_sort_weight":103,"slug":104},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":106,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":107,"show_sort_weight":108,"slug":109},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":111,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":112,"show_sort_weight":113,"slug":114},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":116,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":117,"show_sort_weight":118,"slug":119},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":121,"show_sort_weight":122,"slug":123},"Research & Report",30,"research-report",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":126,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":128},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":127,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":130,"show_sort_weight":127,"slug":131},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":133,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":134,"show_sort_weight":133,"slug":135},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":137,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":46,"category_name":138,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":139},19,"General","general"]
