PRAISE:
“A jaunty, character-driven exploration of a complicated friendship, [The Pallbearers Club] is more emotional than [Tremblay’s] previous novels, and more innovative. . .[T]his delightfully morbid and surprisingly emotional horror novel demonstrates Tremblay’s literary range.”
—New York Times
“Melancholy and funny as well as dark and complex, this novel will be the dark hit of the summer. Unique in terms of style and format, The Pallbearers Club occupies a peculiar place between a thriller, a horror novel, and a narrative that will make you question everything.”
—Boston Globe
“One of the best, most intriguing horror novels I’ve read in many years, The Pallbearers Club is also Paul Tremblay’s crowning achievement, sure to be embraced by literary fiction devotees and horror lovers with equal fervor. It’s a high-wire act most writers would never attempt.”
—Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of Road of Bones and Ararat
“The Pallbearers Club is a sinuous, mercurial novel that shifts under your very eyes like a trick of the light. This is Paul Tremblay's most dazzling book yet, and that's saying something. I was left breathless.”
—Catriona Ward, author of Last House on Needless Street and Sundial
“Uncertainty is Tremblay’s stock-in-trade. Over the last decade, he has grown from hot new thing to horror icon without compromising on his uniquely inexplicable nightmares.”
—Esquire
“[A] deliciously confusing thriller.”
—Weekend Edition (NPR) on The Pallbearers Club
“Books can have teeth. A whole mouthful of them. The Pallbearers Club has a whole lifetime of them.”
—Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of My Heart is a Chainsaw
“A new novel from Paul Tremblay is always cause for celebration. The Pallbearers Club has it all—growth and decay, metatextual playfulness and earnest terror, dark hilarity and deep melancholy. For a book that looks death squarely in its sightless eye this one is just brimming over with life and inventiveness. I loved floating and falling through time with Art Barbara and Mercy.”
—Karen Russell, New York Times bestselling author of Swamplandia! and Orange World
“A stark evocation of a lonesome New England life. . . While Tremblay is a detailed and deft writer, this is his greatest embrace yet of the tools available in literature alone. And oh, what he’s done with it.”
—Vol. 1 Brooklyn
“In his brilliant new novel, Tremblay takes on the well-mined small-town, coming-of-age horror trope, transforming it into something so original, it elevates the entire genre.”
—Booklist (starred review)
“It is clear from the start that this is not your average psychological thriller. Truly, it is difficult to pigeonhole this novel as one specific genre, as it encapsulates qualities from many distinctly different areas of writing. Blurring the lines between fiction and memory, supernatural and ordinary, Paul Tremblay's latest work is nothing short of enthralling.”
—Erie Reader
“The most beautiful and heartbreaking funeral I've been to in a long time, The Pallbearers Club is melancholy, funny, and very cruel, but you won't regret carrying this coffin.”
—Grady Hendrix, bestselling author of The Final Girl Support Group
“Creepy, funny and Gen X all the way. . . . A masterful psychological thriller.”
—NPR
“The Pallbearers Club is Tremblay at his most audacious best. It's such a sneaky mindblower! It'll burrow deep inside you, and by the end, you'll be wondering if the room you're sitting in, the people you're talking with, or even your own memory, are real. This book is horror's answer to Nabokov's Pale Fire.”
—Sarah Langan, author of Good Neighbors
“The Pallbearers Club constructs a maze of uncanny ambiguity and disquiet—a Nabokovian labyrinth that sustains its mystery past the point few writers but Paul Tremblay would risk.”
—Ramsey Campbell
