Horror Movie

Bookseller recommendation

“This was an amazing listening experience. The writing flows like a long awaited tell-all memoir, and the twist at the end was so eerily foreshadowed that suspense ran through every minute. Every actor played their role to perfection, and the added sound effects and music made Horror Movie's in-book scenes feel all too real. This is one thriller that will keep your attention from start to finish.”

“After reading Horror Movie, I'm pretty sure I need to stay in 'Wholesome Horror' level horror and not 'Paul Tremblay Horror' level horror. Everything about this story is nightmare inducing -- the story structure, the characters, the consequences. The entire storyline felt like it actually happened to a bunch of small town teens testing the limitations of teen invincibility. Horror genre readers are going to absolutely love Horror Movie. ”

“This is one of the best produced audio books I've listened to this year!! It was so suspenseful. Tension drips from each chapter. A cult classic is being remade years after the original cast (minus one) has died. A very dark and disturbing roll will be reprised. The question remains: Are monsters made, ...or cast?? This was sooooo creepy good!”

“This is one you definitely want to listen to! The cast absolutely makes the script parts of the book shine. It ends up feeling uncomfortably real as it delves into increasingly disturbing territory. I'm sure this book will haunt me for a long time.”

“I had trouble sleeping after finishing this book, and that is the highest compliment I can give. Horror Movie is about a cursed film that was never released. Your guide through this book is the sole surviving cast member of the movie, as he walks you through both his experience filming the original, and his current experience being involved with the reboot. Interspersed between the “Then” and “Now” chapters is the (incredibly creepy) original screenplay. This entire novel is filled with a sense of dread and unease. Horror Movie got under my skin without me even realizing it. It is brilliant and terrifying and upon finishing the book, I was absolutely convinced that something was hiding under my bed. (Paul Tremblay told me to check, but I did not, so I will never actually know if there was anything under there…) If you were to combine Skinamarink, The Ring, and How to Sell a Haunted House in a blender along with a severed finger and the blood of a Hollywood Exec, you might get something close to Horror Movie. Paul Tremblay’s brilliance cannot be overstated. It takes a lot to scare me, and he somehow managed it. I can’t recommend Horror Movie highly enough.”

“I had a lot of fun with this book. Characters are relatable and likable, storyline is comfortably upsetting, and the horror is gruesome and psychologically scary. So glad I chose to listen to the audio because this book is written precisely for that format! What a great job by the ensemble cast.”

“How far would you go to make a good horror movie? This chilling and gory story follows the cursed production of a monster flick aptly titled "Horror Movie." Celebrating and drawing from pulpy 90's horror tropes, dripping with suspense, and carved in blood with mysterious symbols, this novel is enough to make you question who's actually directing these horrifying events. ”

“A true thrilling, eerily atmospheric 90s horror-esque vibe that will chill you to your core! It is a slow burn build that keeps you at the edge of your seat until you fall off only to question your own sanity. It is those dark secrets we all hide inside ourselves, the horrific thoughts of what if we could? It was a definite insane ride and that ending is still sitting in my head.”

“Some books should just be heard. This story is layered and heady, and the audio production subsumed me well past its conclusion. ”
