Kirkus Tent

Twisted academic madness and tragic histories revisited – this session features two novels that portray the disturbing, unruly, mind-bending world of horror film production. Paul Tremblay’s Horror Movie takes the “cursed film” to a new height as the only surviving cast member of an unfinished cult classic must confront the film’s bizarre past for an impending reboot. J. M. Tyree’s The Haunted Screen explores the obsessive mind of a film scholar as he travels to the historical sites of famous horror movies to uncover the truth of his wife’s disappearance and the strange presence haunting him. Join these novelists as they discuss their uncanny, chilling works and the films that have inspired them.
