January 2019 Group Read with Guest Author, Paul Tremblay

[Kenneth]

This is the thread for our 2019 Group Read with Guest Author, Paul Tremblay. Most of you are already familiar with Paul's excellent (and Bram Stoker Award-winning) A HEAD FULL OF GHOSTS. This is his first time as a guest author on HA and this month we'll be diving headfirst into his THE CABIN AT THE END OF THE WORLD. So, lets get this party started and please help me welcome, Paul Tremblay!

Read this book last year and loved it. I'll be joining the group discussion anyway, even if I don't read this again (which I just might). Can't wait to read author comments and the reader's thoughts and reactions.

[Tim]

Excellent Book, well worth a re-read.

Started this morning, making this my first read for the year! So far I'm loving it!

I loved Disappearance at Devil's Rock so much so I'm definitely in board to read this one!

What a great guest author invite, thanks Ken for organising such amazing guest reads!!

[Judy]

Hello, Paul- I listed to CABIN on audio. I honestly think I should have just read it. Are you able to give us your honest opinion of the audio version?

[Rachel]

Hi Paul! Starting it today, loved 'Disappearance at Devil's Rock' so completely stoked to be reading this with a group of horror fans AND the author !

[Latasha]

I liked the audio version.

[Amity Horror]

I just picked it up from my library!

[Krystal]

So I kinda devoured this in two days so when everyone's ready for the spoilery discussion, I'm over here burning with questions!

In the meantime, here's my review:

Great review. You touched on the major points very well. I've already read this as well and looking forward to the comments, opinions from new readers and hoping there are plenty of insights from Paul Tremblay. Here's my review, which is spoiler free . . . . .

Good luck, this book is well worth it.

[Crowinator]

This was my top read for 2018, so this is exciting to have it be the guest author book! (c: I can't wait to hear his answers to all of our burning questions.

[Char]

Paul, I would love to know what authors have influenced your writing?

[Kimberly]

This book is on my "Best Reads of 2018" list--so glad to see it up here for the author/group read!!!

[Nancy]

I am starting this tomorrow. I bought this back in August so I am excited to read it with the group.

I'm glad you loved it, Krystal. Excellent review, thank you for sharing!

[Dustin]

I second this notion.:))

[Jennifer]

I've just finished Chapter 2 and I love how it's playing on the way we have been brought up. Don't talk to strangers! And from all of the horror books and films we've consumed. These people can only have bad intentions if we rely on what we know if situations like this.


I'm really enjoying it!

[Kirsten]

I am just over halfway through, I keep trying to guess who is right and wrong! Love books that play on your morals and situational terror. Can’t wait to finish :)
