Book Display Inspiration Using One Book - Horror Movie by Paul Tremblay
Paul Tremblay , author of The Cabin at the End of the World, has a new book out called Horror Movie. It's a cursed film horror novel centered around "The Thin Kid," the only surviving cast member of a 1993 art house horror film and a modern day remake of that film. A more complete plot summary is available at his website. I reviewed the novel for Library Journal where it received a star. Because of the subject matter and setting, this title is a great basis for a book display. There are some great books about cursed films and there are plenty of iconic 1990's horror films that can be paired with the novels. Tremblay also has a Gen-X sensibility that can be drawn into your display. Put up signage about Cursed/Lost films, include a QR code so patrons can put Horror Movie on hold and promote your backlist! The Lovecraft eZine has a list of five books about cursed films. Goodreads has a list of Lost Film & Cursed Movie books. CrimeReads has an article/list wit
