Stephen King himself took to Twitter to praise Disappearance at Devil’s Rock, Paul Tremblay’s Massachusetts-set horror novel about the search for a missing thirteen-year old. After the boy goes missing from a local state park, his widowed mom begins seeing ghosts, and soon pages from Tommy’s creepy diary reappear ominously. NPR praised Tremblay’s “immaculate storytelling” while horror critic Theresa DeLucci says that “Tremblay left me speechless, breathless, deeply unsettled and impossibly impressed.“ And she’s not alone. A Head Full of Ghosts, Tremblay’s last novel, won a Bram Stoker Award, which is pretty much the top prize for horror writing.
