Praise for Wake Up and Open Your Eyes : "Clay McLeod Chapman is one of my favorite horror storytellers working today." --Jordan Peele "If talking politics with family has become a horror show, this book's for you." -- New York Times Book Review "The most ambitious novel yet from a writer quietly redefining the emotional contours of contemporary horror." --Neil McRobert, Vulture "The Purge ain't got nothin' on this." --Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of The Buffalo Hunter Hunter "A profoundly terrifying, riveting, intense, nerve-shredding modern horror epic. This is Clay McLeod Chapman at the peak of his craft. Brilliant." --Rachel Harrison , New York Times bestselling author of Play Nice "Supercharged, gloriously maximalist, terrifying, and disgusting.
But mostly it's tragic, and hits much closer to home than any of us want it to." --CJ Leede, USA Today bestselling author of Maeve Fly "A fever-pitched maelstrom of modern-day anxieties and terrors." --Nat Cassidy, USA Today bestselling author of Mary: An Awakening of Terror and Nestlings "Gut-wrenching, grief-soaked, the book perfectly embodies the panic of seeing the people you love transform into monsters. An utterly disconcerting mirror held up to the terror of our present." --Cassandra Khaw, USA Today bestselling author of T he Library at Hellebore "This book throbs with body horror and familial conflict and, most notably, the sociopolitical nightmare we find ourselves in." --Chuck Wendig, New York TImes bestselling author of The Staircase in the Woods "A sparkling variety of narration, mad vivid energy, and even brilliantly funny bits." --Josh Malerman, New York Times bestselling author of Incidents Around the House "A damn roller coaster of a novel, the kind that leaves you shaking and shrieking and smiling. [Chapman] takes all that's troubling our nation in the current day and, somehow, makes it all the more frightening.
" --Victor LaValle, author of Lone Women "Shows the author's most politically engaged, savage side, and for those of us who are fans of his work, the novel is a welcome addition to his oeuvre." --Gabino Iglesias, Locus "Surreal, hypnotic, unrelenting, profoundly claustrophobic, and an absolutely scathing sendup of the pitfalls of American divisiveness." --Keith Rosson, author of Coffin Moon "A compelling, cinematic, visceral, and disturbing tale." --Booklist , starred review "Readers may think they know where the book is heading, but Chapman offers more surprises as he ventures further into the apocalypse. There is some of Chapman's signature humor present, but this work is his most terrifying yet." --Library Journal , starred review.
