Description: "Paul Tremblay is an astonishingly talented writer, but even better, he's twisted, and fun. A Head Full of Ghosts is mind-bending--scary, sad, sweet, funny, sick. ... . Terrifying, hilarious, smart, and satisfying." - Stewart O'Nan, author of The Speed Queen, The Night Country, and A Prayer for the Dying "Crackling with dark energy and postmodern wit...[this] superb novel evokes the very best in the tradition--from Shirley Jackson to Mark Z. Danielewski and Marisha Pessl--while also feeling fresh and utterly new. Deeply funny and intensely terrifying, it's a sensory rollercoaster and not to be missed." - Megan Abbott, author of The Fever and Dare Me "A Head Full of Ghosts doesn't end just because you close the book. Some horror, it bleeds through the pages, gets onto your hands, stays with you. You'll be thinking about this one long after you've read it." - Stephen Graham Jones, author of Demon Theory and Ledfeather "The novel is stylishly written and well-conceived." - Booklist "Paul Tremblay plays fast and loose with the conventions of supernatural and psychological storytellling in this chilling ghost story for the 21st century. [It] is the literary lovechild of Shirley Jackson and William Peter Blatty, a novel that's as disturbing as the worst nightmare you ever had as a kid, and as impossible to forget." - Elizabeth Hand, author of Generation Loss and Available Dark "A mind-bending tale of psychological horror is unleashed, raising disturbing questions about memory and reality, science and religion, and the very nature of evil." - Buzzfeed "[A] literary horror novel . . . Paul Tremblay's A Head Full of Ghosts [is] one of the most frightening books I've read this, or any, year. . . . Despite the skill with which Tremblay wields his demons, real or otherwise, whether or not Marjorie is actually possessed ends up being the point . . . and Tremblay is elegantly, carefully ambiguous about the situation." - The Guardian "Loved it. Highly recommended for anyone who loves engrossing literary horror-undertones of The House of Leaves (but far more accessible) and The Exorcist, and redolent of Shirley Jackson." - Ellen Datlow "A Head Full of Ghosts scared the living hell out of me, and I'm pretty hard to scare." - Stephen King "[A] scary story, indeed." - BookPage "Part psychological thriller, part demonic possession horror, this book is a juicy, fast-paced genre bombshell that just happens to be one of the smartest novels you'll read this year." - The Life Sentence "By turns horrifying, very funny, melancholy, ironic and, with each page, dazzlingly original, A Head Full of Ghosts is a one-book rocket ride through contemporary society where, if Evil doesn't actually exist in a Biblical sense, we're just the folks to invent it on our own." - The Day newspaper "[B]rilliantly creepy." - Library Journal "This will easily be remembered as one of the most powerfully disquieting and deeply unsettling novels of the year, and may mark something of a turning point in the mainstream horror genre." - Shock Totem "A Head Full of Ghosts is one of the best novels released this year. ...Paul Tremblay confirms what we already knew: he's one of the greatest horror writers today." - This is Horror (UK) "Tremblay expertly ratchets up the suspense until the tension is almost at its breaking point." - Kirkus Reviews
