"Paul Tremblay is one of the most terrifying horror writers of his generation and his new chiller, Horror Movie, is a reason for excitement." -- Joe Hill, #1 New York Times bestselling author "Horror Movie is strange and unsettling in the best way possible. Tremblay's unique voice and chameleonic style have made him one of the leading voices in speculative fiction, and this is one of his best novels so far." -- NPR "Macabrely funny and incredibly smart, Horror Movie cements Tremblay's place as a master of horror. It encapsulates the unease of right now -- a runaway culture of self-reference with bloody hands. It's everything a horror novel ought to be: lean, mean, and genuinely scary." -- Sarah Langan, author of Good Neighbors and A Better World "Tremblay is often (and rightfully) recognized as one of the great contemporary horror writers. As I read Horror Movie, I found myself marveling at its high-wire act: The novel hopscotches deftly among three timelines, interspersed with scenes from the screenplay.

It takes bravado and skill to layer overlapping narrative frames like this without sacrificing tension, but Horror Movie never once loses its momentum or its way. It's a smart book, smartly told, and should establish Tremblay as not just one of our great horror writers but one of our great fiction writers, full stop." -- New York Times "A profound, heart-wrenching, terrifyingly honest novel that's also a cinematic page-turner. Horror Movie zooms in on creation and consumption, integrity and ego, admiration and obsession, and how the desperate search for connection through art can be beautiful, or disastrous. This book is a gift and a curse." -- Rachel Harrison, nationally bestselling author of Black Sheep.
