From Bram-stoker award nominated author Craig DiLouie comes a horror novel with a twisted tale of love, heartbreak, and the apocalypse. We all have bad exes. Lily Lawlor's just happens to be the antichrist. Sometimes, love can be hell...
1998: A punk band is formed by Lily Lawlor and Drake Morgan. Drake inspires faith in some. Fear in others. Lily is a believer.
1999: A Battle of the Bands ends in a shocking death, and a riot that claims the lives of three teenagers.
2009: At the height of her stardom, Lily walks into a police station and confesses to murder.
Now: The band has refused to talk to the press about the night of the riot, Lilyโs confession, or anything else. It's been over a decade, but Lily has finally agreed to an interview. And the band is following her lead.
What follows is a story of prophecy, death, and apocalypse. A story about love and love lost. A story about the antichrist. Maybe itโs all true. Maybe none if it is.
Either way, this is their story. And theyโre sticking to it.

Reviews
"Gory, glorious, and just a little too believable, Craig DiLouie’s latest is a slick meta slasher movie in book form, set in the brutal intersection of art and obsession."โPeter Clines, New York Times bestselling author on How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive “How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive is a blood-spattered homage to horror films, an ode to the craft of filmmaking, and a cautionary tale about the fiery—often destructive—creative passion inside every artist, one that continuously teeters on the brink of insanity. DiLouie has created a celluloid cursed object story that John Carpenter himself would stand up and applaud from the front row.”โPhilip Fracassi, author of Boys in the Valley on How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive “A tricky, twisty book with more levels to it than a slasher movie has sequels. DiLouie knows what makes the horror genre tick.” โDavid Moody, author of the Hater and Autumn series on How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive "Confidently striding through the genre, DiLouie displays a deep and abiding love for horror, even as he finds new ways to bend our disgust and despair to his will. The camera cannot turn away."โAndrew F. Sullivan, co-author of The Handyman Method on How to Make a Horror Movie and Survive
"With well-developed characters, a swiftly paced narrative, and mounting dread, this new twist on the ghost story will delight horror readers."
โBooklist on Episode Thirteen "An epistolary descent into a living nightmare . . . well-written and genuinely unsettling. Fans of paranormal documentaries, ghost-hunting shows, and found-footage horror will lose their minds over this one."โKealan Patrick Burke, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Kin on Episode Thirteen "Episode Thirteen is a suspenseful and engaging Rubik’s Cube of a novel. The reader has great perverse fun twisting the pieces back and forth, facet after facet, until Craig DiLouie’s grand design stands revealed in all its febrile splendor."โJames Morrow, author of The Last Witchfinder on Episode Thirteen “DiLouie follows a found-footage narrative before veering into gloriously mind-bending terror. . . . In this subversion of the classic haunted-house/found-footage story, DiLouie demonstrates his ability to toy with and eventually upend readers’ expectations.”โLibrary Journal (Starred Review) on Episode Thirteen "With this chilling story of cult abuse, DiLouie proves his mastery of the slow slide from psychological drama into supernatural horror . . . . Horror readers will be hooked."โPublishers Weekly on The Children of Red Peak "A heart-wrenching, thought-provoking, terrifying tale about the meaning of life... A great choice for fans of Stephen Graham Jones' The Only Good Indians (2020), Paul Tremblay's Disappearance at Devil's Rock (2016), or Alma Katsu's The Hunger (2018)."โBooklist on The Children of Red Peak Expand reviews
