A haunting collection of short fiction from the bestselling author
of The Pallbearers Club, A Head Full of Ghosts, and The Cabin at
the End of the World. Paul Tremblay has won widespread acclaim for
illuminating the dark horrors of the mind in novels and stories
that push the boundaries of storytelling itself. The fifteen pieces
in this brilliant collection, The Beast You Are, are all monsters
of a kind, ready to loudly (and lovingly) smash through your head
and into your heart. In "The Dead Thing," a middle-schooler
struggles to deal with the aftermath of her parents' substance
addictions and split. One day, her little brother claims he found a
shoebox with "the dead thing" inside. He won't show it to her and
he won't let the box out of his sight. In "The Last Conversation,"
a person wakes in a sterile, white room and begins to receive
instructions via intercom from a woman named Anne. When they are
finally allowed to leave the room to complete a task, what they
find is as shocking as it is heartbreaking. The title novella, "The
Beast You Are," is a mini epic in which the destinies and secrets
of a village, a dog, and a cat are intertwined with a giant monster
that returns to wreak havoc every thirty years. A masterpiece of
literary horror and psychological suspense, The Beast You Are is a
fearlessly imagined collection from one of the most electrifying
and innovative writers working today.
