Paul Tremblay has won widespread acclaim for illuminating the dark horrors of the mind in novels and stories that push the boundaries of storytelling itself. The fifteen pieces in this brilliant collection, The Beast You Are, are all monsters of a kind, ready to loudly (and lovingly) smash through your head and into your heart. In “The Dead Thing,” a middle-schooler struggles to deal with the aftermath of her parents’ substance addictions and split. One day, her little brother claims he found a shoebox with “the dead thing” inside. He won’t show it to her and he won’t let the box out of his sight. In “The Last Conversation,” a person wakes in a sterile, white room and begins to receive instructions via intercom from a woman named Anne. When they are finally allowed to leave the room to complete a task, what they find is as shocking as it is heartbreaking. The title novella, “The Beast You Are,” is a mini epic in which the destinies and secrets of a village, a dog, and a cat are intertwined with a giant monster that returns to wreak havoc every thirty years. A masterpiece of literary horror and psychological suspense, The Beast You Are is a fearlessly imagined collection from one of the most electrifying and innovative writers working today. A great read for spooky-season nights A perfect addition to any Halloween reading list",2023,"en","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxz136kgs82vhj4y5ysfj5zx.jpg?v=9ceabe329d","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks-3d\u002F01\u002F01kxz133ze3q9tqas6209e8r2h.png?v=57429ac5fd","LVLmtwJ8RSr@|tf7baW:=vbHWCoL",0,361,410,"complete",false,true,[21],{"id":22,"slug":23,"name":24,"role":25,"bio":26},"01kjsycgt7zm73s8vdm25vfhst","paul-tremblay-uigm","Paul Tremblay","author","Paul Tremblay is a writer whose work you'll find in *The Year's Best Dark Fantasy & Horror*.

But the house is stuffed with their mother's life's work: a vast, unsettling collection of handmade puppets and dolls, and a family history neither sibling wants to reopen. The two have never gotten along, and grief only sharpens the old wounds between them.\n\nAs they sort through the clutter, it becomes clear that something in the house does not want to be sold, packed away, or left behind. The dolls seem to move on their own, and one puppet in particular — the one their mother loved best — has plans of its own for the family.\n\nGrady Hendrix blends genuine horror with dark humor and raw family drama, using a haunted house and its army of puppets to dig into sibling rivalry, inherited trauma, and the things we inherit from our parents whether we want them or not.

Heather knew the stories were just that, until her best friend Becca began insisting the Red Lady was real—and she could prove it. That belief got Becca killed. It’s been nearly thirty years, but Heather has never told anyone what really happened that night—that Becca was right and the Red Lady was real. She’s done her best to put that fateful summer, Becca, and the Red Lady, behind her. Until a familiar necklace arrives in the mail, a necklace Heather hasn’t seen since the night Becca died.

She’s posed on a swing on her boarding school’s property, dressed all in white, with no known cause of death. Whispers and rumors swirl, with no answers. But there are a few who know what happened; there is one girl who will never forget.

This is her fresh start, her chance to begin again in the wake of tragedy, leave her demons behind. Bright but a little strange, uncertain and desperate to fit in, she soon finds herself invited to an advanced study group, led by her alluring and mysterious art teacher, Annabel. There, with three other girls—Alex, Grace, and Robin—the five of them delve into the school’s long-buried grim history: of Greek and Celtic legends; of the school founder’s “academic” interest in the occult; of gruesome 17th century witch trials. Annabel does her best to convince the girls that her classes aren’t related to ancient rites and rituals, and that they are just history and mythology. But the more she tries to warn the girls off the topic, the more they are drawn to it, and the possibility that they can harness magic for themselves. Violet quickly finds herself wrapped up in this heady new world of lawless power—except she is needled by the disappearance of a former member of the group, one with whom Violet shares an uncanny resemblance. As her friends’ actions take a turn for the darker and spiral out of control, she begins to wonder who she can trust, all the while becoming more deeply entangled. How far will these young girls go to protect one another...or to destroy one another?","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxf2spvmpq4rdf17nmb3mn8d.jpg?v=b248717041","L7OI?m}s4VZ%3ObcnPEf02wNF^XQ",363,[349],{"id":350,"slug":351,"name":352},"01kxf2spvbarmjse49fkcyjvxn","katie-lowe-uhmq","Katie Lowe",[354,355,359,360,361,362],{"id":57,"name":58,"slug":59,"is_fiction":19},{"id":356,"name":357,"slug":358,"is_fiction":19},63,"YA Contemporary","ya-contemporary",{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":37,"name":38,"slug":39,"is_fiction":19},{"id":45,"name":46,"slug":47,"is_fiction":19},{"id":49,"name":50,"slug":51,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":182,"complexity":7,"audience":365,"mood":366,"themes":367,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},"young_adult",[128,130],[368,369,370],"unreliable-narrator","multiple-povs","coming-of-age",{"id":372,"slug":373,"title":374,"description":375,"primary_cover_url":376,"cover_blurhash":377,"first_publish_year":322,"community_rating_avg":378,"community_rating_count":379,"page_count":380,"authors":381,"genres":390,"series":408,"enrichment":414},"01kxz0zbw7p618kst7dsg3mayd","dagon-u3ly","Dagon","A morphine-addicted officer aboard a captured cargo ship survives and recounts an encounter with a monstrous entity he calls Dagon — a vast, fish-like Great Old One that emerges from the sea near a remote island.

Ocker spins a dark, psychological thriller about a travel writer who stays for 13 nights at the infamous Rotterdam Mansion unprepared for the horrors that lie within in this true love letter to the haunted house genre. \"It's easy to recognize Ocker as a future master of madness after this thrilling haunted house trip.\" —Fangoria Magazine Felix Allsey is a travel writer with a keen eye for the paranormal, and he’s carved out a unique, if only slightly lucrative, niche for himself in nonfiction; he writes travelogues of the country’s most haunted places, after haunting them himself. When he convinces the owner of the infamous Rotterdam Mansion to let him stay on the premises for 13 nights, he believes he’s finally found the location that will bring him a bestseller. As with his other gigs, he sets rules for himself: no leaving the house for any reason, refrain from outside contact, and sleep during the day. When Thomas Ruth, Felix's oldest friend and fellow horror film obsessive, joins him on the project, the two dance around a recent and unspeakably painful rough-patch in their friendship, but eventually fall into their old rhythms of dark humor and movie trivia. That’s when things start going wrong: screams from upstairs, figures in the thresholds, and more than what should be in any basement. Felix realizes the book he’s writing, and his very state of mind, is tilting from nonfiction into all out horror, and the shocking climax answers a question that’s been staring these men in the face all along: In Rotter House, who’s haunting who?","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kxz16wzy7gysv31g51s90tq9.jpg?v=a8d7da37ce","LNMaLkxu-oxu%MWBRjbH~pjsR*of",239,[427],{"id":428,"slug":429,"name":430},"01kxz16vre697w293g4emyfcsr","j-w-ocker-3yuf","J.

The catch is simple: their children must test the revolutionary playground equipment she has spent decades designing.\n\nBut the structures hidden in the bowels of Geraldine's gothic mansion were never built for play. Unable to have a child of her own and contemptuous of the adopted son she considers a failure, Geraldine has turned her grief and rage into a machine for murdering other people's children. Thrust into a realm of engineered violence, a band of mismatched kids must grow up in an instant if any of them hope to survive.\n\nNotorious for pushing the boundaries of extreme horror, Playground is a short, savage read built on graphic gore and mounting dread. It is emphatically not for the squeamish.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkfgwmqtwpt19w24gfkkbmew.jpg","LEA+%6M{9ut6AVo~Vss9~CNFa#od",2022,290,[711],{"id":712,"slug":713,"name":714},"01kkfgwmqj3x7n84af4ewa04xg","aron-beauregard-fedi","Aron Beauregard",[716,717,718,719,723],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":57,"name":58,"slug":59,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":720,"name":721,"slug":722,"is_fiction":19},49,"Slasher","slasher",{"id":53,"name":54,"slug":55,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":182,"complexity":7,"audience":126,"mood":726,"themes":727,"setting_period":7,"summary":728,"content_warnings":7},[128,129,130,251],[217],"A notorious 2022 splatterpunk shocker.

The buyer, a woman called Zoe, is captivated less by the object than by the person selling it, and the two strike up an intense correspondence that quickly deepens into desire, devotion, and control. Told entirely through their emails and instant-message logs, their relationship becomes a closed loop with no one else in it.\n\nEric LaRocca's Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke is a slim, unsettling queer horror novella about intimacy pushed past every safe limit. As Zoe assumes a dominant role and Agnes surrenders more and more of herself, the escalating demands between them tip from tender to grotesque, and the reader watches a love story curdle into something monstrous.\n\nSpare, transgressive, and deliberately hard to shake, the novella made LaRocca a name in contemporary horror. It is a study of loneliness, longing, and the terrible things people will do to be wanted — a book that uses the flat intimacy of early-internet chat to make cruelty feel horribly close.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Fworks\u002F01\u002F01kjygb8rvneh9k6z6ejvthwvc.jpg","LJELU6CA2y;_0K[8]hBD;dNGWEog",2021,120,[817],{"id":818,"slug":819,"name":820},"01kjygb8thpqyy8z9nwzn38rx5","eric-larocca-n04b","Eric Larocca",[822,823,824,825,829],{"id":57,"name":58,"slug":59,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":688,"name":689,"slug":690,"is_fiction":19},{"id":826,"name":827,"slug":828,"is_fiction":19},36,"LGBTQ+ Romance","lgbtq-romance",{"id":53,"name":54,"slug":55,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":124,"complexity":7,"audience":126,"mood":832,"themes":833,"setting_period":7,"summary":835,"content_warnings":7},[128,129,130,251,185],[834],"epistolary","In the year 2000, two lonely women — Agnes, selling a family heirloom online, and Zoe, the woman who buys it — begin an intense correspondence that deepens into desire and control.

As the Overlook's ghosts grow bolder and Jack's grip on himself slips, Danny's shining may be the only thing standing between his family and whatever wants them to stay forever.\n\nStephen King's breakthrough novel is a claustrophobic haunted-house story that is as much about addiction and the violence passed from father to son as it is about supernatural horror, and it remains one of the most influential haunted-hotel stories ever written.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kjz5stc017hajt6p8f9yn6et.jpg","L03R{_IUM{j[ITxuWBWB-=M{ogj[",1977,"4.06",474,[960],{"id":155,"slug":156,"name":157},[962,963,964,965,966],{"id":49,"name":50,"slug":51,"is_fiction":19},{"id":177,"name":178,"slug":179,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":57,"name":58,"slug":59,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},[968],{"id":969,"slug":970,"name":952,"position":659,"is_main_entry":19,"parent_id":7,"parent_slug":7,"parent_name":7},"01kndaxgf400mget0fvevhtwfy","the-shining-uu2f",{"pace":124,"complexity":7,"audience":126,"mood":972,"themes":973,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[128,130],[],{"id":144,"slug":145,"title":146,"description":147,"primary_cover_url":148,"cover_blurhash":149,"first_publish_year":150,"community_rating_avg":151,"community_rating_count":33,"page_count":152,"authors":975,"genres":977,"series":987,"enrichment":988},[976],{"id":155,"slug":156,"name":157},[978,979,980,981,982,983,984,985,986],{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":161,"name":162,"slug":163,"is_fiction":18},{"id":57,"name":58,"slug":59,"is_fiction":19},{"id":166,"name":167,"slug":168,"is_fiction":19},{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":45,"name":46,"slug":47,"is_fiction":19},{"id":49,"name":50,"slug":51,"is_fiction":19},{"id":173,"name":174,"slug":175,"is_fiction":19},{"id":177,"name":178,"slug":179,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":182,"complexity":7,"audience":126,"mood":989,"themes":990,"setting_period":7,"summary":187,"content_warnings":7},[128,129,130,184,185],[],{"id":992,"slug":993,"title":994,"description":995,"primary_cover_url":996,"cover_blurhash":997,"first_publish_year":998,"community_rating_avg":999,"community_rating_count":855,"page_count":1000,"authors":1001,"genres":1003,"series":1009,"enrichment":1010},"01kjq7fbnr7aenk60p0a5bv0xd","misery-8xoh","Misery","Paul Sheldon is a bestselling novelist famous for a series of Victorian romances built around a heroine named Misery Chastain.

In a culture where the choice reads as an affront, this small act of refusal sets her at odds with her husband, her domineering father, and everyone who believes her body is theirs to manage. What begins as a dietary change deepens into a total withdrawal from the appetites and obligations of ordinary life.\n\nTold in three parts, each narrated by someone orbiting Yeong-hye rather than by Yeong-hye herself — her coldly practical husband, her sister's artist husband, and finally her sister In-hye — Han Kang's novel circles its subject without ever fully explaining her. The perspectives expose the desire, complicity, and helplessness of those around her as she drifts further from human norms and toward something plant-like and unreachable.\n\nWinner of the International Booker Prize, The Vegetarian is a spare, disquieting fable about bodily autonomy, mental illness, patriarchal control, and the violence — domestic and institutional — visited on a person who simply stops cooperating. Its restrained prose and mounting strangeness have made it one of the most discussed works of contemporary Korean literature in translation.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kmtedf3qcjnwhfpfdx2symc4.jpg","LCI;#TaO00Di%g8_xZaL00E0~XIB",185,[1026],{"id":1027,"slug":1028,"name":1029},"01kjz546a64bnpw6avk462wdmr","han-kang-m0og","Han Kang",[1031,1032,1033,1034],{"id":57,"name":58,"slug":59,"is_fiction":19},{"id":688,"name":689,"slug":690,"is_fiction":19},{"id":766,"name":767,"slug":768,"is_fiction":19},{"id":173,"name":174,"slug":175,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":124,"complexity":7,"audience":126,"mood":1037,"themes":1038,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[184,575],[],{"id":1040,"slug":1041,"title":1042,"description":1043,"primary_cover_url":1044,"cover_blurhash":1045,"first_publish_year":296,"community_rating_avg":1046,"community_rating_count":688,"page_count":1047,"authors":1048,"genres":1053,"series":1061,"enrichment":1062},"01kkc501h24288h2yt7y0qq71z","we-used-to-live-here-pqpc","We Used to Live Here","Eve Palmer and her girlfriend Charlie are house flippers who have just bought a fixer-upper in the Pacific Northwest. Then, one evening, a family of five appears on the doorstep. The father, Thomas Faust, warm and insistent, explains that he grew up in this house — and asks whether he might show his wife and children around, just for a few minutes. Against her better judgment, and fighting her own anxiety, Eve lets them in.\n\nThe visit does not end. As the strangers settle deeper into the house, small wrongnesses accumulate: a child goes missing, a presence stirs in the basement, doors and rooms stop behaving the way they should. Charlie disappears, Eve's sense of what is real begins to fray, and the line between her anxiety disorder and genuine dread dissolves.\n\nInterleaved with Eve's account are documents exploring the \"Old House\" — a conspiracy theory that certain houses are portals linking alternate realities, and that visitors can become permanently trapped inside. Marcus Kliewer's debut is a claustrophobic, reality-bending horror novel about intrusion, gaslighting, and the terror of not being believed.","https:\u002F\u002Fapi.seekquel.app\u002Fstorage\u002Fcovers\u002Feditions\u002F01\u002F01kkc501kdn90km9amrnkb6kry.jpg","LiMaLvofR*WV~qofaxoLIUofofj[","3.72",312,[1049],{"id":1050,"slug":1051,"name":1052},"01kkc501k67k3qnyvdewyrja1v","marcus-kliewer-z2f3","Marcus Kliewer",[1054,1055,1056,1057,1058,1059,1060],{"id":29,"name":30,"slug":31,"is_fiction":19},{"id":33,"name":34,"slug":35,"is_fiction":19},{"id":402,"name":403,"slug":404,"is_fiction":19},{"id":177,"name":178,"slug":179,"is_fiction":19},{"id":826,"name":827,"slug":828,"is_fiction":19},{"id":279,"name":280,"slug":281,"is_fiction":19},{"id":57,"name":58,"slug":59,"is_fiction":19},[],{"pace":182,"complexity":7,"audience":126,"mood":1063,"themes":1064,"setting_period":7,"summary":7,"content_warnings":7},[130,214],[],{"id":1066,"slug":1067,"title":1068,"description":1069,"primary_cover_url":1070,"cover_blurhash":1071,"first_publish_year":1072,"community_rating_avg":1073,"community_rating_count":855,"page_count":1074,"authors":1075,"genres":1080,"series":1090,"enrichment":1091},"01kjsqbt8j8bm0748cjmdwgnzw","the-tell-tale-heart-onsx","The Tell-Tale Heart","A narrator, insisting all the while on his perfect sanity, calmly explains how and why he murdered an old man he lived with.
