Horror Movie
by Paul Tremblay
Buy on AmazonPaul Tremblay is known for two things: gripping horror narratives that keep readers guessing and pushing the boundaries of horror in terms of format and storytelling. Horror Movie delivers all of that and more with a story about a cult movie that is told partly as a novel and partly as the movie’s script. Groundbreaking and darker than anything Tremblay has written before, Horror Movie is yet another great novel from one of horror fiction’s leading voices.

"This play on the ‘cursed movie’ trope by the author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A Head Full of Ghosts sees the only surviving cast member from a 1990s arthouse slasher movie sign on to guide a remake of the film, which became a cult classic. But the project soon turns out to be more complicated than imagined, and the actor less reliable. Intricately plotted, featuring both a dual timeline and a screenplay-within-a-novel, this is a clever, fun read full of twists that, like I Was a Teenage Slasher, will appeal to the horror film buff with an intimate knowledge of the genre."
