Mark your calendars for this coming Tuesday, July 11th, when Paul Tremblay’s highly anticipated new collection, The Beast You Are, is set to release! Trust me, horror fans, this is one you won’t want to miss. (Order it here.)

The stories in The Beast You Are showcase Tremblay’s extraordinary talent in crafting narratives that are frightening in their eeriness, yet strikingly human in their emotional depth. It’s a fresh exploration of horror, masterfully interwoven with the fabric of ordinary life.

I enjoyed every story in this collection, but the tales “Ice Cold Lemonade 25¢ Haunted House Tour: 1 per Person”, “I Know You’re There”, and “The Postal Zone: The Possession Edition” were particularly chilling. These three stories are among the most terrifying I have ever read – and I don’t make such a claim lightly.

Paul included story notes at the end of The Beast You Are — something that I wish more writers would do. I loved reading about the genesis of each tale.

While you wait for the book to drop, check out my recent interview with Paul. Together with horror authors Laird Barron and John Langan, we delve into the chilling depths of The Beast You Are. Tune in on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, or your preferred podcast platform.

(And take my advice: read The Beast You Are at night — perhaps while enjoying a cold dill pickle!)

Last but not least: If you’re reading this before July 11, 2023, consider pre-ordering. Pre-orders help build buzz around the book, and can significantly influence its success.

Enjoy our interview with Paul Tremblay!
