About this deal

The Last Conversation" (5 stars)-I read this story a while ago in Blake Crouch's Forward collection. Other readers may have too. I could not very well rate it lower even though I read it before. I thought it was a shame that something I read years ago was one of the better stories in this collection.

You’re an author who generally eschews tropes, or you deconstruct them to the point where they're no longer recognizable. I was surprised to see you take on the vampire in The Pallbearers Club. I'm happy I read this. Always happy to be reading Tremblay and am looking forward to whatever he publishes next!! Any new book by Paul Tremblay makes me sit up straight. Part of the joy is not knowing what to expect from each new story.”— Adam Nevill, author of The Ritual and No One Gets Out Alive

See a Problem?

Books can have teeth. A whole mouthful of them. The Pallbearers Clubhas a whole lifetime of them."— Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of My Heart is a Chainsaw I loved how a couple of the stories are lightly connected to A Head Full of Ghosts. That was fun, like little Easter Eggs. I went in cold and I recommend you do, too. Thankfully the summary doesn't ruin most of the book, rare these days, and it understands what this book wants to be all about, friendship (and 80's punk music). I wish it really was about those things, I just found the actual plot to not live up to the concept. TREMBLAY: (Imitating Boston accent) Art Barbara (laughter). But I think Mercy's more - her problem more with it is just that he's renaming himself for the purposes of the memoir. And I think she suspects right away, when he names her Mercy, it's a reference to sort of a unique corner of New England folklore.

For the past few years, Paul Tremblay has been setting the standard for modern horror. His genius is that he never forgets the core of a great horror novel resides first in its characters. In Survivor Song, he revitalizes the zombie novel by keeping the focus narrow and intimate: two women, in the space of a few hours, just trying to get across town. The result is heartfelt and terrifying, in a narrative that moves like a bullet train.”— Nathan Ballingrud, author of North American Lake Monstersand Wounds Decades later, Art tries to make sense of it all by writing The Pallbearers’ Club: A Memoir. But somehow this friend got her hands on the manuscript and, well, she has some issues with it. And now she’s making cuts.

In his brilliant new novel, Tremblay takes on the well-mined small-town, coming-of-age horror trope, transforming it into something so original, it elevates the entire genre." — Booklist (starred review)
