Brought to you by Penguin.

A chilling slasher from a razor-sharp new horror voice, perfect for fans of Grady Hendrix and the Scream franchise


Journalist Laura Warren arrives in L.A. to report on a remake of a '90s horror flick.

A cursed one, which she happened to star in as a child.

When eight of the cast and crew died in ways that eerily mirrored the movie's on-screen deaths, a traumatised Laura left and changed her entire identity.

But just as she reaches the set, a man falls from a building right in front of her. It's happening again.

This time, Laura is determined to end the curse once and for all.

If it doesn't come for her first . . .

‘A creepy, twisty, compulsively readable haunted house of a book built from horror movies and our obsessive response to them. Be sure to make the popcorn and dim the lights’ Paul Tremblay, author of A Head Full of Ghosts
