Sometimes removing obstacles is far easier than over coming them and someone at Toomey High has their sights set on the Prom, and the perfect date… Prom Date, Diane Hoh’s 1996 addition to the Point Horror Collection, was a random choice for my introduction to the long running series of Young Adult horror novels. The killer had marveled at how easy it was, and how much easier it would get if the body count grew. The body they find won’t be the first, not if the killer has their way. That is until Margaret’s discovery of the torn dresses, muddied and trampled as if tortured and the scream she later hears in the night. Everything is on a high, in the evening the family store is heaving with high school girls choosing dresses and the days are filled with nervous invitations. Her days, her evenings and hopefully her nights would become far more hectic in the near future as the students of Toomey High anticipated their Prom mere weeks away. Her name was Margaret, not Mags or Maggie, and she was as sensible as the name suggests, working in her mothers dress store in the evening while holding down comfortable, though not spectacular, grades during the day in Toomey High.
