JUNE SPINEBREAKERS BOOK CLUB PICK
The instant USA Today bestseller by Chuck Tingle about what it takes to succeed in a world that wants you dead.
Named one of the Best Horror Books of 2024(Esquire, Parade,andLibrary Journal)-Winner of the Locus Award for Best Horror Novel-A Lambda Literary Award finalist!
Misha knows that chasing success in Hollywood can be hell.
But finally, after years of trying to make it, his big moment is here: an Oscar nomination. And the executives at the studio for his long-running streaming series know just the thing to kick his career to the next level: kill off the gay characters, "for the algorithm," in the upcoming season finale.
Misha refuses, but he soon realizes that he's just put a target on his back. And what's worse, monsters from his horror movie days are stalking him and his friends through the hills above Los Angeles.
Haunted by his past, Misha must risk his entire future--before the horrors from the silver screen find a way to bury him for good.

“Hey y’all! My name is Madison and I’ll be running horror bookclub! I read a lot of horror (and sci-fi/fantasy/anything that piques my interest). A little about me: I’m a software engineer, I have two cats and one dog, and I’m an avid hobby collector. I’m super stoked to be here! I’ve always wanted a community to talk horror with, and I hope this book club can be that for everyone!”
Madison (aka @literarymadmax on TikTok and Instagram) is our resident horror literature expert and book club leader! If it’s weird, unsettling, or makes you question your sanity she’s probably already read it.
