Horror Movie: A Novel
by Paul TremblayA chilling twist on the “cursed film” genre from the bestselling author of The Pallbearers Club and The Cabin at the End of the World.In June 1993, a group of young guerilla filmmakers spent four weeks making Horror Movie, a notorious, disturbing, art-house horror flick.The weird part? Only three of the film’s scenes were ever released to the public, but Horror Movie has nevertheless grown a rabid fanbase. Three decades later, Hollywood is pushing for a big budget reboot.The man who played “The Thin Kid” is the only surviving cast member. He remembers all too well the secrets buried within the original screenplay, the bizarre events of the filming, and the dangerous crossed lines on set that resulted in tragedy. As memories flood back in, the boundaries between reality and film, past and present start to blur. But he’s going to help remake the film, even if it means navigating a world of cynical producers, egomaniacal directors, and surreal fan conventions—demons of the past be damned.But at what cost? Horror Movie is an obsessive, psychologically chilling, and suspenseful feat of storytelling genius that builds inexorably to an unforgettable, mind-bending conclusion
Horror Show (Special Warfare Ser.)
by Greg KihnA Bram Stoker Award finalist for Best First Novel: This endlessly inventive thriller pays homage to 1950s Hollywood horror films--with a demonic twist Schlock horror director Landis Woodley lives in a decaying mansion in the Hollywood Hills. When he abandoned the movie business--after being reduced to filming skin flicks and peep shows--he also left a laundry list of enemies, including the IRS. But avid fan Clint Stockbern is determined to write a piece on the alcoholic recluse for Monster magazine. Woodley agrees to the interview--for $600 in cash. As the tape recorder starts rolling, Stockbern travels back in time with Woodley. He hears recollections of Attack of the Haunted Saucer, the worst movie of all time, and Blood Ghouls of Malibu. But he really wants to know about Woodley's masterpiece, Cadaver. Shot on location in the Los Angeles County morgue, the film was rumored to have used real corpses and everyone associated with the production has been fatally haunted since its 1957 release. But the truth is far more terrifying than Stockbern imagined. Is a dead Satanist, possessed by the devil, reaching out beyond the grave? Or is the reporter the final victim in a diabolical scheme dreamed up by mortals? Horror Show is a wild and wacky romp that sends up mid-century Hollywood horror movies and schlockmeisters Roger Corman, William Castle, and Ed Wood.

by Glenn BalchTwo men from nearby Bar-B rode in to Tack Ranch in an angry mood. They accused King, the black stallion, of raiding their brood mares. And, if Vince Darby didn't do something about it-since King carried his brand-they'd have to shoot. King was the leader of the largest band of wild horses that roamed the wild and rugged Twin Buttes country. He was more than just a horse to Ben and Dixie Darby and to Gaucho, the Argentine trainer who had such a way with horses. King was a leader and a fine herd sire, so they had to prove, if possible, that he had not raided the ranchers' herds. What happens in the big rugged ranch country of Idaho and Nevada when these three Tack riders start out to look for the missing colts makes a fast-moving and exciting mystery, written with the same fine understanding for horses that all of the many readers of Glenn Balch's books have come to expect.
