It was a gathering that could've gone unnoticed, another date night with a movie, but for Malerman, it became a landmark. It changed the course of his life, and it will inspire you to reflect on your own journey and to discover existing triumphs that are within you already.  Describing the course of the night, Malerman reflects on his life, from his career as a musician to his stack of rough drafts, written prior to ever being published--and on how meeting the love of his life, a fellow creative, opened him to new experiences and new ways of viewing the world they now quest through together. Malerman deploys his own story/to help readers not only write their unwritten stories but celebrate their uncelebrated/ victories: to find their voice, their vision, and their joie de vivre.  By simply describing an uncommon and uncanny night,/he/ guides aspiring writers beyond the blank page to the immortal life of the writer"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://laurellibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S178C489026</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://laurellibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S178C489026</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Malerman, Josh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://laurellibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/489026178</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Unearthing the Radiant Artist Within</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593983270/MC.GIF&amp;client=laurp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Daphne]]></title><description><![CDATA["Horror has a new name: Daphne. A brutal, enigmatic woman stalks a girls high school basketball team in a reimagining of the slasher genre by the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box. It's the last summer for Kit Lamb: the last summer before college. The last summer with her high school basketball team, and with Dana, her best friend. The last summer before her life begins. But the night before the big game, one of Kit's players tells a ghost story about Daphne, a girl who went to their school many years ago and died under mysterious circumstances. Some say she was murdered, others that she died by her own hand. And some say that Daphne is a murderer herself. They also say that Daphne is still out there, obsessed with revenge, and will appear anytime someone thinks about her to kill again. After Kit hears the story, her teammates vanish, one by one, and Kit begins to suspect that the stories about Daphne are real...and to fear that her own mind is conjuring the killer. Now it's a race against time as Kit searches for the truth behind the legend and learns to face her own fears. Or else the summer of her lifetime will become the last summer of her life. Mixing a nostalgic coming-of-age story and an instantly iconic female villain with an innovative new vision of classic horror, this is an unforgettable thriller as only Josh Malerman could imagine it"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://laurellibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S178C436324</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://laurellibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S178C436324</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Malerman, Josh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2022 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://laurellibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/436324178</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780593157015/MC.GIF&amp;client=laurp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pearl]]></title><description><![CDATA["From the New York Times bestselling author of Bird Box and Malorie Josh Malerman comes the legend of a strange new monster unlike any other in horror.

As he sets traps around his home to catch the ghosts that haunt him, he learns that nothing is more terrifying than fear itself. Happy Birthday, Hunter: A famed big game hunter is determined to capture--and kill--the ultimate prey: the mythic Great Owl who lives in Goblin's dark forests.  But this mysterious creature is not the only secret the woods are keeping.  Presto: All Peter wants is to be like his hero, Roman Emperor, the greatest magician in the world.

And neither knows the other exists--until now. The innovative author of Bird Box invites you into a tantalizing world of secrets and lies. J is a student at a school deep in a forest far away from the rest of the world. J is one of only twenty-six students, who think of their enigmatic school's founder as their father. His fellow peers are the only family J has ever had. The students are being trained to be prodigies of art, science, and athletics, and their life at the school is all they know--and all they are allowed to know. But J is beginning to suspect that there is something out there, beyond the pines, that the founder does not want him to see, and he's beginning to ask questions.  What is the real purpose of this place? Why can the students never leave? And what secrets is their father hiding from them? Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, in a school very much like J's, a girl named K is asking the same questions. J has never seen a girl, and K has never seen a boy. As K and J work to investigate the secrets of their two strange schools, they come to discover something even more mysterious: each other"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://laurellibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S178C341538</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://laurellibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S178C341538</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Malerman, Josh]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2019 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://laurellibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/341538178</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781524796990/MC.GIF&amp;client=laurp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Unbury Carol]]></title><description><![CDATA["Carol Evers is a woman with a dark secret.

Through the Looking Glass and Straight Into Hell,by Christa Carmen

Addiction is the perpetual epidemic, where swarms of human moths flutter to the flames of hell. Because that warm blanket of a heroin high, that joyful intoxication of a pint of vodka, that electric energy from a line of cocaine, over time leaves you with a cold loneliness and a bitter heart. Relationships destroyed, bodies deteriorate, loved ones lost, yet the craving continues for that which is killing us-living, as the title suggests, like an Orphan of Bliss.

Welcome to the third and final fix of addiction horror and the follow up to the Shirley Jackson Award Finalist, Lullabies For Suffering. A diverse table of contents brought together for an explosive grand finale-an unflinching look at the insidious nature of addiction, told with searing honesty but compassion for those who suffer.

Taff, the "King of Pain;" to the mind-bending surrealism of Erik T. Johnson; the darkly poetic prose of J. Daniel Stone and the transgressive mania of Joe Schwartz, I Can Taste the Blood offers up five horror novellas from five unique authors whose work consistently expands the boundaries of conventional fiction.I Can Taste the Blood opens the doors to a movie theater of the damned; travels the dusty, sin-drenched desert with an almost Biblical mysterious stranger; recounts the phantasmagoric story of birth, death and rebirth; contracts a hit that's not at all what it seems; and exposes the disturbing possibilities of what might be killing Smalltown, U.S.A.As diverse as they are, in voice and vision, the work of the five celebrated authors assembled in this stunning volume of terror share one common theme, one hideous and terrifying nightmare that can only be contained within the pages of I Can Taste the Blood.Five Unique Voices.Five Disturbing Visions.One Nightmare.If it's groundbreaking horror stories you want. It's I Can Taste the Blood you need. Praise for I Can Taste the Blood:"Only a group of psychopaths would assemble a book such as this. Bloody brilliant, and beautifully executed. Taste this." - Michael Bailey, Bram Stoker Award-winning editor of The Library of the Dead"I Can Taste the Blood is a tour de force for Grey Matter Press and for the five outstanding dark fiction authors gathered here. If you've read their work before, then you'll know what we're talking about, and if you haven't, you won't find a better place to start than right here." - Shane Douglas Keene, This is Horror "It is the slow burn, the creeping doubt, the inherent violence, the lore made real. Through exotic locations, where the wind blows from within; flashing across the silver screen, violence echoing into the night; pulled from the trunk of a car, dark deeds that deserve retribution; a monster lying in wait, one more city down every road. Haunting and disturbing, even now, I Can Taste the Blood." - Richard Thomas, author of Breaker and Tribulations"While this quintet of authors may taste the blood, we readers will feel the fright of their nightmare visions, sense the dread, the thrills, the awe of their standout voices. Malerman, Stone, Schwartz, Johnson, and Taff: The five points of a brilliant star that herald short horror mastery." - Eric J. Guignard, fictionist, winner of the Bram Stoker Award and finalist for the International Thriller Writers Award Proudly presented by Grey Matter Press, the multiple Bram Stoker Award-nominated independent publisher.Grey Matter Press: Where Dark Thoughts Thrive]]></description><link>https://laurellibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16338939</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://laurellibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C16338939</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Malerman, Josh, John Fd Taff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2021 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://laurellibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/16338939981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781393040668/MC.GIF&amp;client=laurp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Masters of Midnight]]></title><description><![CDATA[In Darkness, Delight is an original anthology series revealing the many faces of modern horror- shocking and quiet, pulp and literary, cold-hearted and heart-felt, weird tales of spiraling madness alongside full-throttle thrillers.
