Twenty-five year old Calla Williams is struggling since becoming guardian to her brother, Jamie. Calla is overwhelmed and tired of being the one who makes sacrifices to keep the family together. Jamie, full of good-natured sixteen-year-old recklessness, is usually off fighting for what matters to him or getting into mischief, often at the same time. Dre, their brother, promised he would help raise Jamie–but now the ink is dry on the paperwork and in classic middle-child fashion, he’s off doing his own thing. And through it all, The Nightmare never stops haunting Calla: recurring images of her brothers dying that she is powerless to stop.

When Jamie’s actions at a protest spiral out of control, the siblings must go on the run. Taking refuge in a remote cabin that looks like it belongs on a slasher movie poster rather than an AirBNB, the siblings now face a new threat where their lives–and reality–hang in the balance. Their sister always warned them about her nightmares. They really should have listened.

Neena Viel is a horror writer who lives in a cabin in the Washingtonian woods with her husband and the best dog on the planet. Her passion for philanthropy (almost) rivals her love for ghost stories. LISTEN TO YOUR SISTER is her debut novel.

UN CLOWN DANS UN CHAMP DE MAÏS bientôt adapté pour le grand écran

RLJE Films/Shudder

Eli Craig, le réalisateur du film culte Tucker & Dale vs. Evil, portera le livre d’Adam Cesare à l’écran, en partenariat avec la société de production Temple Hill. Le film d’horreur sortira au cinéma en mai 2025 aux États-Unis et c’est l’actrice Katie Douglas (Ginny & Georgia) qui jouera le rôle principal de Quinn. 

Basé sur le roman d’Adam Cesare, publié chez HarperCollins en 2020 et récompensé par un Bram Stoker Award, UN CLOWN DANS UN CHAMP DE MAÏS suit Quinn et son père venus emménager dans une ville tranquille en quête d’un nouveau départ. Au lieu de cela, Quinn découvre une communauté fracturée qui traverse une période difficile suite à l’incendie de la précieuse usine de sirop de maïs Baypen. Alors que les habitants se chamaillent entre eux et que les tensions s’exacerbent, une silhouette sinistre (Frendo le clown) émerge des champs de maïs pour nettoyer la ville de ses fardeaux, un meurtre sanglant à la fois.

« Comme toujours dans mes films, il y a un thème plus profond sur la collision entre différentes perspectives et idéaux, qui mène au chaos le plus total. Il était cependant amusant dans ce film de laisser les frissons de l’horreur prendre le dessus, tandis que l’absurdité comique que je ne peux pas m’empêcher de voir dans la vie apporte un peu de légèreté, » a déclaré Eli Craig.

A GIRL WALKS INTO THE FOREST de Madeleine Roux

Midsommar meets The Shadows Between Us in this alluring mash-up of horror and fairy tale from New York Times bestselling author Madeleine Roux, where a girl must embark on a harrowing journey through a deadly forest filled with otherworldly creatures, supernatural forces, and one maniacal villain who will stop at nothing to bring her down.

A GIRL WALKS INTO THE FOREST
by Madeleine Roux
Quill Tree/HarperCollins, June 2025

For as long as she can remember, Valla’s been told her beauty would give her a life most people only dreamed of. So when the mysterious Count Leonid calls on her to be his betrothed, Valla jumps at the chance to leave her small, bleak village. The only thing standing in her way? The journey through the dangerous Gottyar Wood that many don’t survive.

Filled with deadly and cunning creatures, the Gottyar immediately delivers on its reputation with an attack that leaves Valla injured; her face torn to shreds. Barely making it to the castle in one piece, Valla is relieved to finally be safe. But things have changed. Valla’s face is no longer beautiful. And the Count is not happy…Valla thought making it through the Gottyar was a victory, but when she sees what awaits beyond the palace walls, the true battle begins.

In this ruthlessly female-forward narrative that borrows from the best of horror, fairy tales, and folklore, a chewed-up-and-spit-out heroine must lean on the brutality of nature and her biggest fears in order to win back what’s she’s been robbed of: her life.

Madeleine Roux is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Asylum series, which has sold over a million copies worldwide. She is also the author of the House of Furies series and several titles for adults, including Salvaged and Reclaimed. She has made contributions to Star Wars, World of Warcraft, and Dungeons & Dragons. Madeleine lives in Seattle, Washington, with her partner and beloved pups.

They chose her. They’ve always known her. Behind the doors of the pristine estate lies secrets, a lethal human experiment and Demi’s entire life planned out for her.
