The Bram Stoker Award-winning author of A Head Full of Ghosts adds an inventive twist to the home invasion horror story in a heart-palpitating novel of psychological suspense.
Seven-year-old Wen and her parents, Eric and Andrew, are vacationing at a remote cabin on a quiet New Hampshire lake, with their closest neighbours more than two miles in either direction.
As Wen catches grasshoppers in the front yard, a stranger unexpectedly appears in the driveway. Leonard is the largest man Wen has ever seen but he is young and friendly. Leonard and Wen talk and play until Leonard abruptly apologises and tells Wen, "None of what s going to happen is your fault". Three more strangers arrive at the cabin carrying unidentifiable, menacing objects. As Wen sprints inside to warn her parents, Leonard calls out, "Your dads won't want to let us in, Wen. But they have to. We need your help to save the world."
So begins an unbearably tense, gripping tale of paranoia, sacrifice, apocalypse, and survival that escalates to a shattering conclusion, one in which the fate of a loving family and quite possibly all of humanity are intertwined.
The lives of the Barretts, a suburban New England family, are torn
apart when fourteen-year-old Marjorie begins to display signs of
acute schizophrenia. To her parents' despair, the doctors are
unable to halt Marjorie's descent into madness. As their stable
home devolves into a house of horrors, they reluctantly turn to a
local Catholic priest for help, and soon find themselves the
unwitting stars of The Possession, a hit reality television
show.Fifteen years later, a bestselling writer interviews
Marjorie's younger sister, Merry. As she recalls the terrifying
events that took place when she was just eight years old,
long-buried secrets and painful memories begin to surface-and a
mind-bending tale of psychological horror is unleashed.
"Delightfully morbid and surprisingly emotional" -The New York
Times A chilling and twisty horror of toxic friendships, punk rock
and vampire parasites from the Bram Stoker award-winning modern
master of horror and author of The Cabin at the End of the World
and A Head Full of Ghosts. 1988, and puberty has hit Art Barbara
hard - he's a painfully socially awkward teenager, underweight,
acne-ridden, and bent crooked by scoliosis. Worse, he has no extra
credits to get him into college. So Art starts the Pallbearers'
Club, dedicated to mourning the homeless and lonely - the people
with no one else to bury them. It might be a small club, unpopular
and morbid, but it introduces Art to Mercy Brown, who is into
bands, local history, folklore and digging up the dead. Decades
later, Art is writing his memoir to try and make sense of it all,
because nothing about Mercy is simple. It's all a matter of trust,
right? Their friendship twists and coils around the pair of them,
captured in Polaroid snapshots and sweaty gigs and the freaky,
inexplicable flashes of nightmare that lurk in a folded jacket at
night. Because Art is writing his memoir to make sense of it all,
but Mercy is reading it too. Mercy thinks Art's novel - because
this isn't a memoir - needs some work, and she's more than happy to
set the record straight. What if Art didn't get everything right?
Come on, Art, you can't tell just one side of the story...
Seamlessly blurring the lines between fiction and memory, the
supernatural and the mundane, The Pallbearers Club is an immersive,
suspenseful portrait of an unforgettable and unsettling friendship.
Late one summer night, Elizabeth Sanderson receives the devastating
news that every mother fears: her 13-year-old son, Tommy, has
vanished in the woods of a local park. Riddled with worry, pain,
and guilt, Elizabeth is wholly unprepared for the strange series of
events that follow. As the search grows more desperate, and the
implications of what happened become more haunting and sinister, no
one is prepared for the shocking truth about that night.
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.

A riveting novel of suspense and terror from the Bram Stoker
award-winning author of The Cabin at the End of the World and A
Head Full of Ghosts. When it happens, it happens quickly. New
England is locked down, a strict curfew the only way to stem the
wildfire spread of a rabies-like virus. The hospitals cannot cope
with the infected, as the pathogen's ferociously quick incubation
period overwhelms the state. The veneer of civilisation is breaking
down as people live in fear of everyone around them. Staying inside
is the only way to keep safe. But paediatrician Ramola Sherman
can't stay safe, when her friend Natalie calls - her husband is
dead, she's eight months pregnant, and she's been bitten. She is
thrust into a desperate race to bring Natalie and her unborn child
to a hospital, to try and save both their lives. Their once
familiar home has becoming a violent and strange place, twisted in
to a barely recognisable landscape. What should have been a simple,
joyous journey becomes a brutal trial.

This omnibus brings Paul Tremblay's debut novels - classic noirs,
The Little Sleep and No Sleep Till Wonderland - back in to print
for the first time in over 10 years. Darkly comedic and carrying
all the hallmarks of Tremblay's later work, they introduce Mark
Genevich, a narcoleptic detective operating out of his mom's
apartment in South Boston. In THE LITTLE SLEEP, Genevich is hired
to identify the girl in a couple of photos - except the girl looks
a lot like the reality TV star and DA's daughter, and he can't
remember who gave him the job because he was asleep at the time.
Wrangling deception, intrigue, cataleptic hallucinations and a body
that could fall asleep at any moment Genevich follows the trail
that leads him into his own family history, and his memories of his
dear departed father. NO SLEEP TILL WONDERLAND sees Genevich
dropping out, forced into group therapy by his landlord mother or
face eviction. His new friend, Gus, finds out he's a PI and asks
him to help find a local suit's lover. But soon Genevich is pulled
into events over his head - rescuing a child from a burning house,
maybe?; drug deals with a local bouncer and dealer; possibly
getting a girlfriend. But solving mysteries is what Genevich does,
starting with the mystery of what happened to him whilst he was
asleep...
