Goosebumps meets Stephen King at Edenville College, where an
aspiring horror novelist takes a teaching job and soon finds a
blood-soaked town history, a secret society in the library
basement, alternate dimensions and people who might actually be
spiders… When young horror writer Cam Marion is offered a
teaching opportunity at a prestigious liberal arts college upstate,
his long-time girlfriend Quinn is skeptical. She knows the college
is located in Edenville, in infamous Renfield County. The county
where people seem to go missing. The county where Quinn's high
school best friend was mysteriously killed. Quinn figures the job
opportunity is a trap somehow, so she follows Cam upstate to
investigate some of the county's mysteries (including her own). She
quickly discovers that there's an entire society dedicated to
solving Renfield's many riddles. A society that puts on plays
dedicated to Renfield's macabre, blood-soaked history. A society
that meets in the library basement once a week. A society made up
of people who might not be people at all....Meanwhile, Cam
discovers that his newest story idea isn't an idea so much as it is
a vision of another world. A world that the faculty at Edenville
College need his help to access before it accesses them.

An unsettling, immersive, and wildly entertaining debut novel from
an exciting new voice in horror for fans of Paul Tremblay and
Stephen Graham Jones. "Edenville is a delightfully gooey blend of
gothic, cosmic, folk and body horror churned by a sharp-bladed
critique of academia."-- Lucy A. Snyder, Bram Stoker Award-winning
author of Sister, Maiden, Monster After publishing his debut novel,
The Shattered Man, to disappointing sales and reviews, Campbell P.
Marion is struggling to find inspiration for a follow-up. When
Edenville College invites him to join as a writer-in-residence,
he's convinced that his bad luck has finally taken a turn. His
girlfriend Quinn isn't so sure--she grew up near Edenville and has
good reasons for not wanting to move back. Cam disregards her
skepticism and accepts the job, with Quinn reluctantly following
along. But there's something wrong in Edenville. Despite the
charming old ladies milling about Main Street and picturesque
sunflowers dotting the sidewalks, poison lurks beneath the surface.
As a series of strange and ominous events escalate among Edenville
and its residents, Cam and Quinn find themselves entangled in a
dark and disturbing history. Told with equal parts horror and
humor, Edenville explores the urban legends that fuel our
nightmares and the ways in which ambition can overshadow our best
instincts. Sam Rebelein is an exciting, sharp new voice, sure to
terrify readers for years to come. "The mundane horrors of rural
and academic living collide with pure cosmic weirdness in Sam
Rebelein's Edenville. Not since Jason Pargin's John Dies at the End
have I been so horrified and grossed out by a book...I could say
more, but honestly, the less you know about this book, the better.
A fantastic debut."-- Todd Keisling, Bram Stoker Award-nominated
author of Devil's Creek and Cold, Black & Infinite
