Horror Movie

A special limited paperback edition with stenciled artwork on the edges of the New York Times bestseller—a chilling twist on the “cursed film” genre from the author of The Pallbearers Club and The Cabin at the End of the World.

Horror Movie follows the unnerving journey of the lone surviving cast member of a notorious early-’90s art-house horror film that achieved cult status despite only a handful of its scenes ever being publicly seen. Decades later Hollywood attempts a big-budget reboot, and the once-actor is drawn back into a web of memories about the original production — where reality, trauma, and the disturbing legacy of the film blur together. Paired with reflections on the nature of art, fandom, and obsession, this layered and psychologically intense novel builds to a mind-bending conclusion that examines both the creation and lasting impact of horror itself.

"A cleverly disturbing experience that sidesteps genre tropes and delivers a psychologically chilling narrative through its shifting timelines and existential dread." Kirkus Reviews
